Environmental engineers are using data collected by weather data centers to learn how climate affects the see ice. Of 536 ice melt ponds studied in a certain region, 97 were classified as having "firs-year ice". The researchers estimated that about 18% of melt ponds in the region hve firsl-year ice. Estimate, with 90% confidence, the percentage of all ice-melt ponds in the region that have first-year ince. Give a practical intepretation of the results.
Construct a 90% confidence interval around the sample proportion of ice melt ponds with first-year ice.
Interpret the confidence interval practically. Choose the correct answer below.
- . One can be 90% confident the tru proportion of ice melt ponds in the region with first-yea ice lies at the mean of the above interval, rather than 18%.
- . Since 18% is not in the interval, one can be 90% confident the true proportion of ice melts ponds in the region with first-year ice is not 18%.
- . One can be 90% confident the tru proportion of ice melt ponds in the region with first-year ice is within the above interval, and there is 90% chance it is 18%.
- . Since 18% is in the interval, one can be 90% confident the true porportion of ice melt ponds in the region with first-year ice is 18%.
- One can be 90% confidence the true porportion of ice melt ponds in the region with first-year ice is within the above interval, though it is probably not 18%.
