Researchers in the corporate office of an airline wonder if
there is a significant difference between the cost of a flight on
Priceline.com vs. the airline's own website. A random sample of 24
flights were tracked on Priceline and the airline's website and the
average difference between the vendors was $2.971 with a standard
deviation of $9.9905. The 99% confidence paired-t interval for
price (Priceline - Airline Site) was (-2.754, 8.696). Which of the
following is the appropriate interpretation?
Question 4 options:

We are 99% confident that the average difference in the prices
of the flights sampled is between -2.754 and 8.696. |
|
|
2)
|
We are 99% confident that the average difference in price
between the two vendors for all flights is between -2.754 and
8.696. |
|
|
3)
|
We are certain the average difference in prices between the two
vendors for all flights is between -2.754 and 8.696. |
|
|
4)
|
The proportion of all flights that had a difference in price
between the two vendors is 99%. |
|
|
5)
|
We are 99% confident that the difference between the average
price on Priceline and the average price on the airline's website
