The heights of young adult females in the United States are said to have a population standard deviation of σ=2.6 inches. A sample was taken of n=85 young adult females at BYU-Idaho and the mean was computed to be x¯=65.4 inches.

A 95% confidence interval for the true mean height of females in the United States was calculated from the BYU-Idaho sample data. Which of the following explanations describes the correct way to interpret the 95% confidence interval for this problem?

A. There is a 95% chance that the true mean height of adult females in the United States is in our confidence interval. B. We are 95% confident that the true mean height of adult females in the United States is somewhere in our confidence interval. C. Approximately 95% of all 95% confidence intervals that could be computed from the population of all adult females in the United States will contain the true mean height. D. 95% of all of the heights of female adults in the US are in our confidence interval. E. 95% of the heights of female adults in our sample are in our confidence interval.
