Question:

The following definition of a confidence interval was found on a web page at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. “Confidence intervals are constructed at a confidence level, such as 95%, selected by the user. . . . It means that if the same population is sampled on numerous occasions and interval estimates are made on each occasion, the resulting intervals would bracket the true population parameter in approximately 95% of the cases.” Is this a correct interpretation of the confidence interval? Explain.
