a 95% confidence interval of ( 25 , 27) grams.
Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this interval?
95% of the quarter pounders with cheese sampled had a fat content
between 25 and 27 grams.
We are 95% confident that the mean fat content of the sampled quarter
pounders with cheese is between 25 and 27 grams.
We are 95% confident that the mean fat content of a quarter pounder
with cheese is between 25 and 27 grams.
We are 95% confident that the range of fat content of a quarter pounder
with cheese is between 25 and 27 grams.
Question 5 point
Select the most appropriate response.
In a random sample of 28 families, the average weekly food expense was $95.60 with a standard
