Can anyone verify this?
We are 95% sure that the true population falls between 2.26 and 4.34
@ganeshie8
\[2.26<\mu<4.34\] On average, 95 out of every 100 such intervals will contain the population mean.
Was my answer correct then?

Not really. Your statement "we are 95% sure" indicates the probability of the population mean being within the confidence interval. It is not correct to use probability in this context.
That's how my teacher told us to write confidence interval statements
As I said, "95% sure" indicates probability. I prefer the more precise interpretation: On average, 95 out of every 100 such intervals will contain the population mean.
If your teacher is happy with the use of "95% sure", go ahead and use it. I can't say it is incorrect.
