The table below provides summary statistics for the gas mileage of a sample of 10 cars. Using these data, a 95% confidence interval for the true mean gas mileage was calculated to be (25.91,  28.49) (25.91,\;28.49) . Which of the following statements is a correct interpretation of this interval?

Sample Size Mean MPG Standard Deviation (mpg)
10 27.2 1.8
A

We are 95% confident that the true mean gas mileage of all new model cars lies between 25.9125.91 and 28.4928.49 miles per gallon.

B

There is a 95% chance that the observed sample mean falls between 25.9125.91 and 28.4928.49 mpg.

C

There is a 95% probability that in repeated sampling, 95% of the individual cars will have a mileage between 25.9125.91 and 28.4928.49 mpg.

D

Exactly 95% of all cars in the population are expected to have a gas mileage within the interval 25.9125.91 to 28.4928.49 mpg.
