A random sample of 50 light bulbs had a mean lifetime of 590 hours. A 97% confidence interval for the population mean was (575,605). Which one of the following statements is the correct interpretation of the results? We are 97% confident the true mean lifetime is between 575 hours and 605 hours. O None of these are true. The confidence interval (575,605) contains the true mean lifetime with a probability of 97%. Of all the bulbs 97% of the light bulbs in the sample had lifetimes between 575 hours and 605 hours
