A sample of 20 cupcakes found the interval for average calories to be (150, 350). Which is the correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval?

We are 95% confident that the true mean caloric content can be found with a sample of 150 to 350 cupcakes.

We are 95% confident that the interval (150, 350) captures the true average caloric content.

We are 95% confident that a sample of 20 cupcakes will find 250 calories per cupcake.

None of these are correct.
