After taking a sample of 300 rice plants, you find the frequency of the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (BADH2) allele conferring aroma to rice grains such as basmati or jasmine to be 93 (out of 600 alleles total), leading to an estimated mean proportion of 0.15 with 95% confidence interval of 0.13, 0.19. Which of the following statements is correct regarding this CI? There is a 95% probability the true population proportion lies between 0.13 and 0.19. There is a 95% probability the true population proportion includes 0.13 and 0.19. The 99.99% confidence interval would be closer to the true value. There is a 95% probability the interval between 0.13 and 0.19 contains the true population proportion. The true population proportion lies between 0 and 1, but between 0.13 and 0.19 there is higher probability of truth.

Question
After taking a sample of 300 rice plants, you find the frequency of the betaine
aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (BADH2) allele conferring aroma to rice grains such as
basmati or jasmine to be 93 (out of 600 alleles total), leading to an estimated mean
proportion of 0.15 with 95% confidence interval of 0.13, 0.19. Which of the following
statements is correct regarding this CI?
There is a 95% probability the true population proportion lies between 0.13 and
0.19.
There is a 95% probability the true population proportion includes 0.13 and 0.19.
The 99.99% confidence interval would be closer to the true value.
There is a 95% probability the interval between 0.13 and 0.19 contains the true
population proportion.
The true population proportion lies between 0 and 1, but between 0.13 and 0.19
there is higher probability of truth.
