A 95% confidence interval indicates that we can be 95% confident that?

a. the standard error ranges between 1.08 – 2.11

b. the sample medium is included in the interval between 1.08 and 2.11

c. the range of scores is included in the interval between 1.08 and 2.11

d. the population mean for the true odds ratio is included in the interval between 1.08 and 2.11

We can be 95% confident that

d. The population mean for the true odds ration is included in the interval between 1.08 and 2.11.

Because the confidence interval reveals that within the calculated range the population parameter can be estimated.
