A brief note on overlapping confidence intervals.

Peter C Austin1, Janet E Hux.   

Abstract

Clinical researchers frequently assess the statistical significance of the difference between two means by examining whether the two 95% confidence intervals overlap. The purpose of this brief communication is to illustrate that the 95% confidence intervals for two means can overlap and yet the two means can be statistically significantly different from one another at the alpha = 0.05 level.
