An experiment was performed on a certain metal to determine if the strength is a function of heating time. The 95 percent prediction interval for the strength of a metal sheet when the average heating time is 4 minutes is from 3.235 to 6.765. We are 95 percent confident that an individual sheet of metal heated for four minutes will have strength of at least 4 pounds per square inch. Do you agree with this statement?
