2. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of confidence interval? (circle one)
a. If the same experimental process is done on many samples, with a given percentage certainty,
the population parameter will fall within a calculated range.
b. When many different processes are done on the same sample, with a given percentage certainty,
the population parameter will fall within a calculated range.
c. If the same experimental process is done on many samples, with a given percentage certainty,
each sample will determine its own calculated range with a given percentage certainty
3. In a certain study, a population parameter is predicted to be in the interval (42, 60) at a 95% confidence
level. What is a reasonable confidence interval if the confidence level is adjusted to 98%
Explain your answer.
