A 90% Confidence Interval Estimate of the Population Mean $\mu$ Can Be Interpreted to Mean That:
A) If We Repeatedly

question 68

Multiple Choice

A 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean $\mu$ can be interpreted to mean that:

• A) if we repeatedly draw samples of the same size from the same population, 90% of the values of the sample means \(\bar { x }\) will result in a confidence interval that includes the population mean \(\mu\).
• B) there is a 90% probability that the population mean \(\mu\) will lie between the lower confidence limit (LCL) and the upper confidence limit (UCL).
• C) we are 90% confident that we have selected a sample whose range of values does not contain the population mean \(\mu\).
• D) We are 90% confident that 10% the values of the sample means \(\bar { x }\) will result in a confidence interval that includes the population mean\(\mu\).
