is incorrect. By definition, a 95% confidence interval is the concept where we would expect 95% of all the confidence intervals constructed to contain the true parameter. So that is why he is wrong. Hope this is useful for you

Lorraine was in a hurry when she computed a confidence interval for µ. Because σ was not known, she used a Student's t distribution. However, she accidentally used degrees of freedom n instead of n − 1.
