A student was asked to find a 90% confidence interval for a widget width using data from a random sample of size n = 24. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval 11.1 < μ < 29.5? Check all that are correct. With 90% confidence, the mean width of a randomly selected widget will be between 11.1 and 29.5. There is a 90% chance that the mean of the population is between 11.1 and 29.5. With 90% confidence, the mean width of all widgets is between 11.1 and 29.5. The mean width of all widgets is between 11.1 and 29.5, 90% of the time. We know this is true because the mean of our sample is between 11.1 and 29.5. There is a 90% chance that the mean of a sample of 24 widgets will be between 11.1 and 29.5.

Question

A student was asked to find a 90% confidence interval for a widget width using data from a random sample of size n = 24. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval 11.1 < μ < 29.5?

Check all that are correct.

  • With 90% confidence, the mean width of a randomly selected widget will be between 11.1 and 29.5.
  • There is a 90% chance that the mean of the population is between 11.1 and 29.5.
  • With 90% confidence, the mean width of all widgets is between 11.1 and 29.5.
  • The mean width of all widgets is between 11.1 and 29.5, 90% of the time. We know this is true because the mean of our sample is between 11.1 and 29.5.
  • There is a 90% chance that the mean of a sample of 24 widgets will be between 11.1 and 29.5.
