Question

A 95% confidence interval for the mean height of a population is calculated as (160 cm, 170 cm). What does this mean? A) The probability that the true mean is in this interval is 95%. B) 95% of the population has a height between 160 cm and 170 cm. C) If we repeated this procedure many times, 95% of the intervals would contain the true mean. D) The mean is exactly 165 cm.

Step 1

A 95% confidence interval means that if we were to take many random samples from the population and calculate the confidence interval for each sample, approximately 95% of those intervals would contain the true population mean. Show more…
