A survey was conducted to determine the difference in gasoline mileage for two types of trucks. A random sample was taken for each model of truck, and the mean gasoline mileage, in miles per gallon, was calculated. A 98% confidence interval for the difference in the mean mileage for model A trucks and the mean mileage for model B trucks, μA - μB was determined to be (2.6, 4.5)
Based on this sample, we are 98% confident that the average mileage for model B trucks is between 2.6 and 4.5 miles per gallon higher than the average mileage for model A trucks.
We know that 98% of model A trucks get mileage that is between 2.6 and 4.5 miles per gallon higher than model B trucks.
Based on this sample, we are 98% confident that the average mileage for model A trucks is between 2.6 and 4.5 miles per gallon higher than the average mileage for model B trucks.
We are 98% confident that a randomly selected model A truck will get mileage that is between 2.6 and 4.5 miles per gallon higher than a randomly selected model B truck.
We know that 98% of all random samples done on the population of trucks will show that the average mileage for model A trucks is between 2.6 and 4.5 miles per gallon higher than the average mileage for model B trucks.

A grocery store is interested in determining whether or not a difference exists between the shelf life of Tasty Choice doughnuts and Sugar Twist doughnuts. A random sample of 100 boxes of each brand was selected and the mean shelf life in days was determined for each brand. A 90% confidence interval for the difference of the means, μTC - μST , was determined to be ( 1.4, 2.5).
We know that 90% of Tasty Choice doughnuts last between 1.4 and 2.5 days longer than Sugar Twist doughnuts.
We are 90% confident that a randomly selected box of Tasty Choice doughnuts will have a shelf life that is between 1.4 and 2.5 days longer than a randomly selected box of Sugar Twist doughnuts.
Based on this sample, we are 90% confident that Sugar Twist doughnuts will last on average between 1.4 and 2.5 days longer than Tasty Choice doughnuts.
We know that 90% of all random samples done on the population will show that the mean shelf life of Tasty Choice doughnuts is between 1.4 and 2.5 days longer than the mean shelf life of Sugar Twist doughnuts.
Based on this sample, we are 90% confident that Tasty Choice doughnuts will last on average between 1.4 and 2.5 days longer than Sugar Twist doughnuts.

A philosophy professor wants to find out whether the mean age of the men in his large lecture class is equal to the mean age of the women in his classes. After collecting data from a random sample of his students, the professor tested the hypothesis H0: μM = μW against the alternative HA: μM ≠ μW. The P-value for the test was 0.003. Which is true?
It is very unlikely that the professor would see results like these if the mean age of men was equal to the mean age of women.
There is a 0.3% chance that the mean ages for the men and women are equal.
There is a 99.7% chance that another sample will give these same results.
There is a 0.3% chance that another sample will give these same results.
There is a 0.3% chance that the mean ages for the men and women are different.
