A student was asked to find a 98% confidence interval for widget
width using data from a random sample of size n = 25. Which of the
following is a correct interpretation of the interval 14.2 < μ
< 24.4?
Check all that are correct.
- There is a 98% chance that the mean of a sample of 25 widgets
will be between 14.2 and 24.4.
- With 98% confidence, the mean width of all widgets is between
14.2 and 24.4.
- The mean width of all widgets is between 14.2 and 24.4, 98% of
the time. We know this is true because the mean of our sample is
between 14.2 and 24.4.
- There is a 98% chance that the mean of the population is
between 14.2 and 24.4.
- With 98% confidence, the mean width of a randomly selected
widget will be between 14.2 and 24.4.
