A clinical trial is run to assess the efficacy of a new pacemaker device in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

1. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean number of days with an AF event between participants receiving the new pacemaker as compared to the available pacemaker.
2. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of days with an AF event among participants receiving the new pacemaker.
