Question

The 95% confidence interval is from ppm to ppm. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret the 95% confidence interyal. Select all that apoly. Interpret the 95% confidence interval. Select all that apply- A. 95% of all mushrooms of this type have cadmium levels that are between the interval's bounds. B. There is a 95% chance that the mean cadmium level of all mushrooms of this type is between the intervals bounds. C. 95% of all possible random samples of 12 mushrooms of this type have mean cadmium levels that are between the interval's bounds. D. With 95% confidence, the mean cadmium level of all mushrooms of this type is between the interval's bounds.

Answer 1

Answer: B and D

Explanation:

The 95% confidence interval is from ppm to ppm. This means that the range of cadmium levels in this sample of mushrooms is from ppm to ppm and we can say with 95% confidence that the true mean cadmium level of all mushrooms of this type falls between these two values.

Therefore, the correct interpretations of the 95% confidence interval are:

B. There is a 95% chance that the mean cadmium level of all mushrooms of this type is between the interval's bounds.

D. With 95% confidence, the mean cadmium level of all mushrooms of this type is between the interval's bounds.

Option A is incorrect because it implies that 95% of all mushrooms of this type have cadmium levels within this range, which is not necessarily true.

Option C is also incorrect because it implies that 95% of all possible samples of 12 mushrooms will fall within this range, which is also not necessarily true.
