Extracted text: Park rangers are interested in estimating the weight (in pounds) of the bears that inhabit their state by using their neck girth (distance around the neck in inches) because neck girth is easier to measure than weight for bears. The rangers collected the data for weight and neck girth for 10 randomly selected bears and created a 90% confidence interval for the slope: (17.078, 23.382). Which of the following is the most appropriate interpretation of the interval? O We are 90% confident that the neck girth of bears in this state increases between 17.078 inches and 23.382 inches for every increase in weight of one pound We are 90% confident that, on average, the weight of bears in this state increases between 17.078 pounds and 23.382 pounds for every increase in neck girth of one inch. We are 90% confident the population mean weight of bears in this state is between 17.078 pounds and 23.382 pounds O We are 90% confident that the weight of bears in this state increases between 17.078 pounds and 23.382 pounds for every increase in neck girth of one inch. O We are 90% confident that, on average, the neck girth of bears in this state increases between 17.078 inches and 23.382 inches for every increase in weight of one pound O We are 90% confident the population mean neck girth of bears in this state is between 17.078 inches and 23.382 inches.
