Part 2
b. Interpret the interval constructed in (a). Choose thecorrect answer below.
A.The mean amounts in dollars spent for lunch atthe fast-food restaurant of
95%
of all samples of the same size are contained in theinterval.
B.Conclude with
95%
confidence that the mean amount in dollars spent for lunch atthe fast-food restaurant for the sample is contained in theinterval.
C.
95%
of the sample data fall between the limits of this confidenceinterval.
D.Conclude with
95%
confidence that the population mean amount in dollars spent forlunch at the fast-food restaurant is contained in theinterval.
Part 3
c. What assumption must you make about the populationdistribution in order to construct the confidence interval estimatein (a)?
A.
The population distribution is skewed right.
B.
The population distribution is skewed left.
C.
The population distribution is normally distributed.
D.
The population distribution is uniformly distributed.
