Figure 14.1 To say that —
x  0.6 is a 95% confidence interval for the population mean m is to say that, in
repeated samples, 95% of these intervals capture m.

Figure 14.2 Twenty-five samples from the same population gave these 95% confidence intervals. In the long
run, 95% of all samples give an interval that contains the population mean m.

Figure 14.5 The lengths of three confidence intervals for Example 14.4. All three are centered at the estimate
—
x = 22.21. When the data and the sample size remain the same, higher confidence results in a larger margin of
error.
