A market researcher collects a simple random sample of customers from a population of over a million​ customers that use a home improvement website. After analyzing the​ sample, she states that she has​ 95% confidence that the mean​ time customers spent on​ that website per day is between 17 and 54 minutes. Suppose that the population mean​ time customers spent on that website is 14 minutes a day. Does this value of the population mean help to show that the confidence interval estimate is​ correct? Explain.

17
and

Part 1
Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
​No, because the population​ mean,
μ​,
is not the midpoint of the confidence interval estimate.
 
B.
​Yes, because the population​ mean,
μ
is within​ 95% of the midpoint of the confidence interval estimate.
 
C.
No​,
because the population​ mean,
μ​,
is not
included within the confidence interval estimate.
 
D.
Yes, because the population mean, μ, is relatively close to
the confidence interval estimate.
 
E.
Yes​,
because the population​ mean,
μ​,
is
included within the confidence interval estimate.
