Answer:

c. We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

95% confidence interval of [$20.52, $22.48].

We can be 95% sure that the true mean amount of taxis fares in downtown Boston is in this interval, and thus, the correct answer is given by option C.
