Suppose that a random sample of 50 cans of a particular brand of fruit juice is selected, and the amount of juice (in ounces) in each of the cans is determined. Let ? denote the mean amount of juice for the population of all cans of this brand. Suppose that this sample of 50 results in a 95% confidence interval for ? of  (7.5, 8.9). Consider the following statement: There is a 95% chance that ? is between 7.5 and 8.9. Is this statement correct? Why or why not?
