Levels of insoluble ash (gm/kg) were measured in a sample of small (0.3 gm) aliquots of dried and ground alfalfa. Below are three confidence intervals for the mean: One is a 95% confidence interval, one is a 90% confidence interval, and the other is an 85% confidence interval. Without doing any calculations, match the inter- vals with the confidence levels and explain how you determined which interval goes with which level. Confidence levels:  95% 90% 85% Intervals (in scrambled order): (8.16, 10.88) (8.38, 10.66) (7.75, 11.29)

alfalfa. Below are three confidence intervals for the mean: One is a 95% confidence interval, one is a 90% confidence interval, and the other is an 85% confidence interval. Without doing any calculations, match the inter-
vals with the confidence levels and explain how you determined which interval goes with which level.

Confidence levels:  95% 90% 85%

Intervals (in scrambled order):
(8.16, 10.88) (8.38, 10.66) (7.75, 11.29)
