    "90% confidence" means there is a probabilty of 90% that the population mean (average compensation for the population of party clowns) lies within the confidence interval.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The confidence interval is a range of values in which, according to the level of confidence that is calculated, is likely to include a parameter of the population. In this case, this parameter is the population mean compensation of party clowns.

    The level of confidence is 90%, so there is 90% of confidence (or probability) that the population mean compensation for party clowns lie within $9394 and $9926.

    None of the options below is correct.
