Question

The owners of an amusement park selected a random sample of 200 days and recorded the number of park patrons with annual passes who visited the park on each selected day. They computed a 90% confidence interval for the number of patrons with annual passes who visit the park daily. How would you interpret the 90% confidence interval of (35, 51)? a. There is a 90% chance that the population mean number of patrons with annual passes who are in the park on any given day is between 35 and 51. b. The method used to calculate the confidence interval has a 90% chance of producing an interval that captures the population mean number of annual pass holders in the park on any given day. c. Ten percent of the population of annual pass holders visit the park on any given day. d. There is a 90% chance that the sample percentage of park patrons with annual passes is contained in the interval 35 to 51.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. The method used to calculate the confidence interval has a 90% chance of producing an interval that captures the population mean number of annual pass holders in the park on any given day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval calculated from the sample at a particular confidence level, gives a certain percentage of confidence based on the confidence level that the true mean of the population exists within the confidence interval Calculated.

For the scenario above, we can say that there is a 90% chance that the population mean number of annual pass holders in the park on a given day is within the interval (35, 51)
