A researcher is studying mirex contamination in farmed salmon. He first found a 95% confidence interval for the mean concentration to be 0.0834 to 0.0992 parts per million. Later, he rejected the null hypothesis that the mean did not exceed the EPA's recommended safe level of 0.08 ppm based on a P-value of 0.0027. Explain how these two results are consistent, discussing the confidence level, the P-value, and the decision.
