Options :

Yes, the value of 68.25 is a number in the confidence interval.
Yes, 68.25 is much higher than the sample mean of all three-year-old thoroughbred racehorses, which was 65.2 inches.
No, the value of 68.25 is a number in the confidence interval.
No, the horses that run in the Kentucky Derby are a subset of all three-year-old thoroughbred racehorses
Answer:
No , the value of 68.25 is a number in the confidence interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval gives a range if values which is used in establishing the significance of an hypothesis. If the true mean falls within the confidence interval drawn, then our finding is insignificant and the null hypothesis will stand. However, if the true mean does not fall within the interval, then our result is considered significant and the null is thus rejected.
Since true mean exists within the confidence interval, then we conclude that the sample does not provide convincing evidence that three-year-old thoroughbred racehorses are, on average, shorter than those that run in the Kentucky Derby
