Suppоse thаt x is the length аnd Y is the weight оf smаllmоuth bass (a type of fish) in a large Texas lake. A sample of smallmouth bass was caught at this lake and a simple linear regression model for Y verses x was fitted using the observed data. Using all the results we studied in class regarding inference for simple linear regression, the following two intervals were produced, one of which is a 95% confidence interval for the average weight (in pounds) of smallmouth bass that are 14 inches long, and the other is a 95% prediction interval for the weight (in pounds) of a particular smallmouth bass that is 14 inches long: Which of the following is correct?
