a) We can be 95% confident that Y is between 68 and 8.0
b) We can be 95% confident that is between 6.8 and 8.0.
c) Ninety-five percent of the values of = number of close friends (for this sample) are between 6.8 and 8.0
d) If random samples of size 1467 were repeatedly selected, then 95% of the time I would be between 6.8 and 8.0.
