Suppose that you took a sample of 20 students at UF and asked them how many minutes they exercised yesterday. Suppose that you wanted to make a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. What value would you use for t?

A sample of 2,419 US residents were asked if they considered their home “very clean” right now. The 95% confidence interval was (0.0146. 0.0259). Is the following interpretation of the confidence interval correct? “We are 95% confident that the sample proportion of Americans that consider their home very clean is between 0.0146 and 0.0259.”

In 2014, the General Social Survey asked respondents who had stock options through their company if those stocks were traded at the New York Stock Exchange. The 95% confidence interval was (0.016, 0.0413). Is the following a correct or incorrect interpretation? “There is a 95% probability that the population proportion of people with stock options who have their stocks traded at the New York Stock Exchange is between 0.016 and 0.0413.”
