A student was asked to find a 99% confidence interval for widget width using data from a random sample of size n = 19. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval 12 < μ < 30.5? Check all that are correct. There is a 99% chance that the mean of a sample of 19 widgets will be between 12 and 30.5. With 99% confidence, the mean width of all widgets is between 12 and 30.5. With 99% confidence, the mean width of a randomly selected widget will be between 12 and 30.5. There is a 99% chance that the mean of the population is between 12 and 30.5. The mean width of all widgets is between 12 and 30.5, 99% of the time. We know this is true because the mean of our sample is between 12 and 30.5.
