A researcher studied more than 12,000 people over a 32-year period to examine if people's chances of becoming obese are related to whether they have friends and family who become obese. They reported that a person's chance of becoming obese increased by 50% (90% confidence interval [CI], 77 to 128) if he or she had a friend who became obese in a given interval. Explain what the 90% confidence interval reported in this study means to a person who understands hypothesis testing with the mean of a sample of more than one, but who has never heard of confidence intervals.
