Agricultural researchers plant 100 plots with a new variety of corn and measure the mean yield for these plots in bushels per acre. They treat the 100 plots as a simple random sample of possible plots of corn (as researchers often do) and report a 95% confidence interval for the mean corn yield of (128.4, 131.6) bushels per acre. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence level?

a.) We are 95% confident that the true mean yield for this new variety of corn is captured by the interval (128.4, 131.6) bushels per acre

b.) In repeated sampling, 95% of the intervals created will contain the interval 128.4 to 131.6 bushels per acre.

c.) If many intervals were constructed this way from many independent sets of 100 plots, 95% of the intervals would capture the true mean corn yield.

d.) There is a 95% chance that the mean yield of corn will be contained in the interval.

    A

    Explanation:

    95% confidence interval gives the lower and upper limit for the mean corn yield per acre

    Lower limit is 128.4 bushel per acre and upper limit is 131.6 bushel per acre
