12. A simulation model for a transportation system is

run for 30 replications, and the mean percentage utiliza-
tion of the transporter used by the system is recorded for
each replication. Those 30 data points are then used to
form a confidence interval on mean transporter utiliza-
tion for the system. At a 95% confidence level, the
confidence interval is found to be 37.2% ± 3.4%.
Given this information, which of the following facts can
be definitively stated about the system?

(D) At 5% confidence, the population mean of trans-
porter utilization lies inside of the range of
