Question

Using a sample size of 450 dogs, the confidence interval below is based on the average number of minutes a dog exercises in a day.

98% confidence interval: 55 to 65 minutes

What is the correct interpretation of this interval?

   

2% of the sample of dogs gets between 55 and 65 minutes of exercise.

   

98% of the sample of dogs get between 55 and 65 minutes of exercise.

   

None are correct.

   

If the sampling procedure were repeated many times, 98% of the sample means would be between 55 and 65.

   

If the sampling procedure were repeated many times, 98% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean number of minutes of exercise.
