I am extremely bad at math and I am trying to help other to ask a question, but I personally think C

The interval estimate of the population mean when a random sample is taken of the speed on highway is 59.5<h<64.1. Option C is correct.

What is margin of error?

The probability or the chances of error while choosing or calculating a sample in a survey is called the margin of error.

The interval estimate of the population mean can be found out using the following formula:

[tex]\overline X\pm MOE[/tex]

Here, [tex]\overline X[/tex] is the average mean, and the MOE is the margin of error.

On a highway, a random sample is taken of the speed, in mph, of 50 cars.

  • A mean speed is 61.8 mph
  • The margin of error is +2.3
  • The confidence interval is 95%

Put the values in the above formula as,

[tex]61.8\pm 2.3\\59.5,641[/tex]

Thus, the interval estimate of the population mean

[tex]59.5 < h < 61.8[/tex]

Hence, the interval estimate of the population mean when a random sample is taken of the speed on highway is 59.5<h<64.1. Option C is correct.
