How do you interpret the confidence interval. Select all that apply.


We are 95% confident that the population mean mercury content of Croaker white fish (pacific) is within the confidence interval.
 
The confidence interval was calculated using a method that gives correct answers 95% of the time.
 
There is a 95% probability that the sample mean mercury content of Croaker white fish (pacific) is within the confidence interval.
 
We are confident that 95% of Croaker white fish (pacific) have mercury content within the confidence interval.
The FDA's webpage provides some data on mercury content of fish. Based a sample of 15 croaker white fish (Pacific), a sample mean and standard deviation mercury content were
computed as 0.287 and 0.069 (µg/g), respectively. The fish is considered a good choice for consumption.
What is the standard error of the mean mercury content of the 15 croakers?
0.0046 µg/g
0.287 µg/g
0.069 µg/g
0.0178 µg/g

Construct a 95% t confidence interval for the population mean mercury content of all croaker white fish (Pacific).
0.287 +0.135 µg/g
0.287 + 0.038 µg/g
0.287 ± 0.148 µg/g
0.287 + 0.035 µg/g
