Question 4 of 10 • CA-Statistics and Probability B
A farmer of a large apple orchard would like to estimate the true mean number of suitable apples produced per tree. He selects a random sample of 40 trees from his large orchard and determines with 95% confidence that the true mean number of suitable apples produced per tree is between 375 and 520. Which of these statements is a correct interpretation of the confidence level?
Answer
A
Approximately 95% of the trees in the orchard contain between 375 and 520 suitable apples.
B
There is a 95% probability that the true mean number of apples per tree is between 375 and 520.
C
If many random samples of size 40 are selected from the population of all trees in this large orchard, approximately 95% of the sample means will be between 375 and 520 apples.
D
If many random samples of size 40 are selected from the population of all trees in this large orchard, about 95% of the intervals would capture the true mean number of suitable apples produced per tree.
