    Question

    Above is the correlation matrix showing the correlation between the degree of enjoyment experienced in literature classes earlier in school and subsequent attitudes toward reading. Via bootstrapping, the 95% confidence interval is shown running from .230 to .385.

    What does this interval mean?


    1. TRUE: If we assume that this sample is among the 95% of samples that contain the population value, the correlation in the population is between .230 and .385.
    2. FALSE: For 95%, you can be confident that the population value is between .230 and .385.
    3. FALSE: There is a 95% chance that the population value in the interval is between .230 and .385.
    4. FALSE: With 95% confidence, the population value fluctuates between .230 and .385.

    1. True
    2. False
