Question
Please identify if each of the following statements is a proper interpretation of a 95% confidence interval.
If it is not a proper interpretation PLEASE explain why!!! :)
A. I am confident that 95% of the population values will fall within this interval
B. I am 95% confident that the probability that the population parameter is in this interval is 0.95.
C. I am 95% confident that this interval will contain the true population parameter.
D. I am 95% confident that the possible samples from this population will have sample statistics in this particular interval.
Explanation / Answer
Correct Interpretation of 95% Confidence Interval is:
We are 95% confident that the interval will contain the true
population parameter. The interval is for the population
parameter, not population values. Also, it is not for sample
values. Hence, Option (C) is the correct choice. (Ans).
