Question 1058988: Suppose you construct 1000 confidence intervals of the mean US household annual income. If you use a 94% level of confidence, about how many of these intervals will actually contain the true mean US household annual income?

A 94% confidence interval implies that 94% of all the computed confidence intervals would contain the mean. So 94% of 1000 = 0.94*1000 = 940.

Ans: About 940 of the intervals would actually contain the true mean.
