Question

The paper "The Curious Promiscuity of Queen Honey Bees (Apis mellifera): Evolutionary and Behavioral Mechanisms"† describes a study of the mating behavior of queen honeybees. The following quote is from the paper.

"Queens flew for an average of 24.2 ± 9.21 minutes on their mating flights, which is consistent with previous findings. On those flights, queens effectively mated with 4.6 ± 3.47 males (mean ± SD)."

The intervals reported in the quote from the paper were based on data from the mating flights of

n = 30 queen honeybees. One of the two intervals reported was identified as a 95% confidence interval for a population mean. Which interval is this? Justify your choice.

a.The interval, 24.2 ± 9.21 minutes, is the 95% confidence interval because the statement is about the average flight time.

b.The interval, 24.2 ± 9.21 minutes, is the 95% confidence interval because the statement is about the flight time.
