#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.

.3 The width of a confidence interval is a measure of its precision. The narrower the confidence interval, the more precise is the interval estimate, and vice versa. Describe any three aspects that influence the precision of the width of a confidence interval of a singlepopulation mean.
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 441 green peas and 164 yellow peas. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow.
