Question
A supplier of eggs to grocers nationwide studied the mean egg length of eggs produced at their farms After selecting a random sample of eggs, they obtained a 95% confidence interval of (45 mm 60 mm) In the context of the problem, which of the following interpretations is correctif any? Choose the correct answer below A. We're 95% confident that the mean length of eggs from this supplier is between 45 mm and 60 mm B. We're 95% confident that an egg from this supplier will be between 45 mm and 60 mm in length For this particular population95% of all eggs from this supplier are between 45 mm and 60 mmin length. . We're 95% confident that the mean length of eggs in the sample is between 45 mm and 60 mm E. None of the above is a correct interpretation
