Question

Data on the rate at which a volatile liquid will spread across a surface are in the table Complete parts a through c a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean mass of al spills with an elapsed time of 5 minutes Interpret the result. What b the confidence interval? (4.082, 5.336) (Round to three decimal places as needed) Interpret the result Choose the correct answer below. A. We are 95% confident that the interval will contain the mean mass of the spill before 5 minutes has passed B. We are 95% confident that the interval will not contain the mean mass of the spill at 5 minutes C. We are 95% confident that the interval will contain the mean mass of the spill after 5 minutes D. We are 95% confident that the interval will contain 5 minutes.

Explanation / Answer

According to the confidence interval computed, it manes that there is a 95% probability that the true population mean will fall in this interval.

Therefore the correct answer here is: We are 95% confident that the interval will contain the mean mass of the spill after a time of 5 minutes. Therefore C is the correct answer here.
