In a clinical trial, the effectiveness of a treatment is measured by the change in symptom scores, where Δ=μtreatmentμcontrol\Delta = \mu_{treatment} - \mu_{control}. A frequentist analysis provides a 95% confidence interval of [0.5,4.2][0.5, 4.2]. A Bayesian analysis using an uninformative flat prior yields a posterior distribution for Δ\Delta such that P(Δ>0Data)=0.985P(\Delta > 0 | Data) = 0.985. Which of the following statements is the most accurate interpretation?
