MULTIPLE CHOICE: Choose the best answer from the answer choices. 1. You have sampled 25 students to find the mean SAT scores at orris !nolls "i#h School. A $5% confidence interval for the mean SAT score is $&& to 11&&. 'hich of the followin# statements #ives a valid interpretation of this interval( (A) $5% of the 25 students scored between $&& and 11&&.
