Chapter 4, Problem 4.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If many experiments are carried out, the fraction of vertical bars (in Figure 4-5a) that is expected to include the population mean (10000) has to be given.

The reason why the 90% confidence intervals bars longer than the 50% bars has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Confidence Interval:

In a region of measured mean, the region where the true mean is found to lie is given as the confidence interval.

On repeating many times, a set of n number of measurements and computing the mean value and standard deviation value for each set  of measurement, the 95% confidence interval would contain the true population mean in 95% of the sets of n measurements.
