The lengths of text messages are normally distributed with an unknown population mean. A random sample of text messages is taken and results in a 95% confidence interval of (23,47) characters. What is the correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval?

95% of the text messages have length between 23 units and 47 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The lengths of text messages are normally distributed.

95% confidence interval:

(23,47)

Thus, we could interpret the confidence interval as:

About 95% of the text messages have length between 23 units and 47 units.

By Empirical rule for a normally distributed data, about 95% of data lies within 2 standard deviations of mean , thus we can write:

Thus, the mean length of text messages is 23 units and standard deviation is 6 units.
