CI for Population Mean: The Anchor of Estimation

Students frequently misinterpret a 95% CI as having a 0.95 probability of containing μ \mu . In frequentist statistics, μ \mu is fixed and the interval is the random variable; once calculated, the specific interval either contains μ \mu or it does not. The probability is 0 or 1.
