    (B) If the sampling procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean systolic blood pressure.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A confidence interval of 95% means that there is a 95% certainty that for a given sample, the population mean will be within the confidence interval estimated.

    This is the same as saying that if he sampling procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the time the population mean would be contained in the resulting confidence interval.

    Therefore, the answer is B)
