Question 309547: . After a sample of numbers is taken from a population, the 95% confidence interval is calculated out at {10.5, 12.0}
What is the correct way to interpret this confidence interval? Choose one.
A) 95% of all values in the population are between 10.5 and 12.0
B) The true population mean has to be between 10.5 and 12.0
C) There is a 95% probability that the true population parameter is between 10.5 and 12.0.
D) The mean is between 10.5 and 12.0, and the standard deviation is 95.

After a sample of numbers is taken from a population, the 95% confidence interval is calculated out at {10.5, 12.0}
What is the correct way to interpret this confidence interval? Choose one.
------
None of those choices is correct.
The correct answer is "We are 95% confident that the population mean
is between 10.5 and 12."
-------------------
The confidence interval is not a probability statement and it is not
an ascertion that the pop mean is between thus and thus.
