... We calculate these intervals for different confidence levels, depending on how precise we want to be. We interpret an interval calculated at a 95% level as that we are 95% confident that the interval contains the true population mean. We could also say that 95% of all confidence intervals formed in ...

... A used car dealer says that the mean price of a 2008 Honda CR-V is at least $20,500. You suspect this claim is incorrect and find that a random sample of 14 similar vehicles has a mean price of $19,850 and a standard deviation of $1084. Is there enough evidence to reject the dealer’s claim at α = 0. ...
