Question

Imagine I have estimated a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of your class for samples of size 10 and find it is between 1,65m and 1,75m. Thus, the confidence interval has a width of 10 cm and the margin of error is of 5 cm.

Mark the correct interpretation:

Answer

This means that there is a 95% probability that an individual student picked at random is between 1,65 and 1,75m of height.

Answer

There is a 5% probability that an individual student is not between 1,65 and 1,75m of height.

Answer

95% of all possible confidence intervals that I can build with samples of 10 individuals which have a width of 10 cm (5 cm of margin of error) will include the population mean.

Answer

I am 95% confident that the  population  mean height of students is on average 1,7m.
