Given that 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours that adults sleep at night is found to be (6.55,8.25) from a sleep lab experiment. Is the following statement correct?
There is a 95% probability that the mean number of hours that adults sleep is between 6.55 and 8.25 hours.
Correct
Incorrect
Answer explanation
Incorrect because the interval has already been collected. We cannot talk about probability after the event, the interval either contains the true mean or not.
