Use the following information to answer questions (12) -(15) . Many couples believe that it is getting too expensive to host an "average" wedding in the United States. According to a statistics study in the U.S., the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. in 2014 was $25,200. Recently, in a random sample of 35 weddings in the U.S. it was found that the average cost of a wedding was $24,224 with a standard deviation of $2,210.
-If a 95% confidence interval for the mean for the wedding sample is ($23465, $24983) , does this mean that the sample results are significantly different from the claimed value for the mean of $25,200?
A) Since the claimed population mean is outside of the 95% confidence interval, we conclude that the sample results are significantly different.
B) Since the claimed population mean is outside of the 95% confidence interval, we conclude that there is a 95% chance that the sample results are significantly different.
C) Since the accepted population average is outside of the 95% confidence interval, we conclude that there is a 5% chance that the sample results are significantly different.
D) Since the accepted population average is outside of the 95% confidence interval, we conclude that the sample results are not significantly different.
