#6 Suppose taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston is known to be normally distributed and a sample of seven taxi fares produces a mean fare of $21.51 and a 95% confidence interval of [$20.97, $22.03]. Which of the following statements is a valid interpretation of the confidence interval? Multiple Choice We are 95% confident that a randomly selected taxi fare will be between $20.97 and $22.03. 95% of all taxi fares are between $20.97 and $22.03. With 95% confidence, we con report that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.97 and $22.03. The mean amount of a taxi fare is $21.51, 95% of the time.
