Did you notice this one asks for an answer at "the level of a first graduate course"? That should be interpreted as a request for rigor, clarity, and correctness. In light of that, you might want to reconsider assertions that (although suggestive) are not really true, such as "95 of the confidence intervals [out of 100 experiments]...will contain $\mu$." | |
