TRUE or FALSE If 50 students are surveyed about how many units they are taking and a 95% confidence interval is computed to be (14, 18), then with 95% confidence we can state that the mean of these students' unit load is between 14 and 18.

Question

TRUE or FALSE

If 50 students are surveyed about how many units they are taking and a 95% confidence interval is computed to be (14, 18), then with 95% confidence we can state that the mean of these students' unit load is between 14 and 18.

Expert Solution
Step 1

A 95% Confidence Interval depicts that if we take 100 different samples from the population, then compute the 95% confidence interval for the true population parameter, then 95 confidence intervals out of 100 would be able to catch the true parameter value in the interval.
