Multiple Choice

Construct Confidence Intervals for a Mean Response
-How does a confidence interval differ from a prediction interval?

• A) Confidence intervals are used to measure the accuracy of the mean response of all the individuals in the population, while a prediction interval is used to measure the accuracy of a single individual's predicted value.
• B) Confidence intervals are used to measure the accuracy of a single individual's predicted value, while a prediction interval is used to measure the accuracy of the mean response of all the individuals in the population.
• C) Confidence intervals are constructed about the predicted values of \(y\) while prediction intervals a constructed about a particular value of \(x\)
• D) Confidence intervals are constructed about the predicted values of \(x\) while prediction intervals a constructed about a particular value of \(y\)
