The focus this week is on confidence intervals. Utilize the following information and answer the questions below: A 95% confidence interval obtained from a sample of 100 outpatients for the true population mean normal mean systolic blood pressure is given by (114 mmHG, 120 mmHG).

· Provide a correct interpretation of this interval. Can you think of other interpretations that would also be correct?

· This confidence interval came from a single sample, would we get the same interval if we obtained a different set of 100 patients? What does this imply about your interpretation of the given interval?

· If we wanted a 99% confidence interval instead, can you tell whether it would be narrower or wider? Can you tell by how much?
