A study is done to look at the cost of a hotel room in Paris and a hotel room in London. The sample mean cost in Paris was $534.50 per night and in London $369.50. The 95% confidence interval for cost in Paris is ($437, $632) and the 95% confidence interval for the cost in London is ($335, $404).  Which of the following statements is correct?

For the​ following, indicate whether a confidence interval for a proportion or mean should be constructed to estimate the variable of interest. Justify your response. Researchers asked a random sample of 390 new pet owners if they would consider purchasing pet health insurance.  The confidence interval for a [prop] should be constructed because the variable of interest is [var] and this is [qual].
