A 95% confidence interval for the mean body mass (BMI) of young American women is 26.8 0.6. Select the correct statement.
We are confident that 95% of all young women have BMI between 26.2 and 27.4
We are 95% confident that future samples of young women will have mean BMI between 26.2 and 27.4
Any value from 26.2 to 27.4 is believable as the true mean BMI of young American women
If we take many samples, the population mean BMI will be between 26.2 and 27.4 in about 95% of those samples
The mean BMI of young American women cannot be 28.

You have measured to systolic blood pressure of an SRS of 25 company employees. A 95% confidence interval for the mean systolic blood pressure for the employees of this company is (122, 138). Which of the following statements is true?
95% of the sample of employees have a systolic blood pressure between 122 and 138
95% of the population of employees have a systolic blood pressure between 122 and 128
If the procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean systolic blood pressure
If the procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the time the population mean systolic blood pressure would be between 122 and 138
If the procedure was repeated many times, 95% of the time the sample mean systolic blood pressure would be between 122 and 138
