Question: You collect a sample from a subpopulation, and based on x-bar, s and n, you calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean ().

You collect a sample from a subpopulation, and based on x-bar, s and n, you calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean (). Which statement about that confidence interval is most correct?

A. For every 100 confidence intervals, each created from a different sample group from that population, there will be 95 intervals that will correctly cover the true mean.
B. With that calculated interval, for every 100 true means of the population, 95 of those true means will fall within that interval.
C. You have 95% confidence that a type I error was made.
D. You have 95% confidence that you performed that calculations correctly.
