Solution

Let's analyze each statement one by one to determine which interpretations are correct:

  1. There is a 95% chance that the proportion of notetakers in a sample of 89 students will be between 0.1 and 0.2.

    • This statement is incorrect. The confidence interval refers to the population proportion, not the sample proportion. The sample proportion is already known from the data.
  2. There is a 95% chance that the proportion of the population is between 0.1 and 0.2.

    • This statement is incorrect. The confidence interval does not imply a probability about the population proportion. Instead, it means that if we were to take many samples and construct a confidence interval from each sample, 95% of those intervals would contain the true population proportion.
  3. With 95% confidence, the proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.1 and 0.2.

    • This statement is correct. It correctly interprets the confidence interval as an estimate of the population proportion with a specified level of confidence.
  4. With 95% confidence, a randomly selected student takes notes in a proportion of their classes that is between 0.1 and 0.2.

    • This statement is incorrect. The confidence interval pertains to the proportion of the population, not to the behavior of an individual student.
  5. The proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.1 and 0.2, 95% of the time.

    • This statement is incorrect. The confidence interval does not mean that the population proportion varies. Instead, it means that we are 95% confident that the true population proportion lies within the interval.

Therefore, the correct interpretation is:

  • With 95% confidence, the proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.1 and 0.2.
