If we are 92% confident, and generated 200 confidence intervals, then we should expect about 0.92*200 = 184 confidence intervals to contain the population parameter in question.

The remaining 200-184 = 16 intervals are expected to not have the population parameter.

Alternative calculation: (1-0.92)*200 = 16
Or 0.08*200 = 16

Answer: 16
