Week One Summer 2010 Shortcourse : Math in Science Context: Assignment Questions Post Answers: "Questions for Wed: These are some questions regarding density that could go on the blog. 1. Did the true value for density fall within the ..."
1)Our true value was within our 90% confidence interval. All that tells us is that we can be 90% sure that the true value is somewhere within this range.
2) The interval increases along with our percentage which makes sense because if you have a wider range that the true value can fall into your chances are greater it will be in that range. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well,but if we were talking pH, my percentage of confidence that the true value is somewhere between 1 and 14 is going to be higher than if my range is between 6 and 8.
