A 99% Confidence interval was calculated for the true mean diastolic blood pressure, :, based on 100 randomly selected subjects. This confidence interval was found to be (74, 92). Which of the following interpretations is false?
- If we were to repeat the same experiment 1000 times and constructed the confidence interval this same way, we would expect the true mean diastolic blood pressure, µ, to be contained in approximately 99% of such intervals.
- The probability that the confidence interval (74,92) contains the true mean diastolic blood pressure, µ, is .99
- The probability is .99 the true mean diastolic blood pressure, µ, is in the interval (74, 92).
- The probability the true mean diastolic blood pressure, µ, is contained in the interval (74, 92) is either zero or 1, but we do not know which.
- A and B only
- C and D only
Homework Answers
Correct interpreations are:
we were to repeat the same experiment 1000 times and constructed the confidence interval this same way, we would expect the true mean diastolic blood pressure, µ, to be contained in approximately 99% of such intervals.
The probability the true mean diastolic blood pressure, µ, is contained in the interval (74, 92) is either zero or 1, but we do not know which.

A researcher has run an experiment and has properly calculated a confidence interval for a population mean parameter µ. Her 95% confidence interval is (0.351, 0.412). What is the probability that the true, unknown parameter µ is in her 95% confidence interval? Select one: a. 5% b. 95% c. Either 0% or 100%, but we don’t know which. d. This isn’t appropriate because confidence intervals are for sample statistics, not parameters. e. This isn’t appropriate because confidence intervals are for...

Let's say we have constructed a 95% confidence interval estimate for a population mean. Which of the following statements would be correct? A. We expect that 95% of the intervals so constructed would contain the true population mean. B. We are 95% sure that the true population mean lies either within the constructed interval or outside the constructed interval. C. Taking 100 samples of the same size, and constructing a new confidence interval from each sample, would yield five intervals...

A statistician constructed a confidence interval for the mean μ of a population and the result was the interval (25,30). Which of the following statements is/are true? There is a 0.9 probability μ is between 25 and 30. If 100 random samples of the same size are picked and a 90% confidence interval is calculated from each one, then μ will be in 90 of those 100 confidence intervals. If 90% confidence intervals are calculated from all possible samples of...
