Which of the following would be a correct interpretation of a 99% confidence interval such as 4.1 < μ < 5.6? We are 99% confident that the interval 4.1 to 5.6 actually does contain the true value of μ (population mean). It means that 99% of all data values are between 4.1 and 5.6. It means that 99% of sample means fall between 4.1 and 5.6. There is a 99% chance that μ (population mean) will fall between 4.1 and 5.6.

Step 1
We are 99% confident that the interval 4.1 to 5.6 actually does contain the true value of μ (population mean). - This statement is correct. A 99% confidence interval means that we are 99% confident that the true population mean falls within the given interval. Show more…

Which statements attempting to interpret a 95% Confidence Interval are correctly phrased? There is a 95% chance that the population parameter I am looking for is between the two numbers I came up with as endpoints of the interval If I made 100 95% confidence intervals, I would expect 95 of them to capture the population parameter I am interested in. I am 95% confident that the interval I calculated captured the population parameter I am interested in The interval I created contains 95% of possible values of the sample statistic. The interval I created contains 95% of values in the population.
