A random sample of 1,175 people in a certain country were asked whether they thought climate change was a
problem. The sample proportion of those who think climate change is a problem was calculated, and a 95 percent
confidence interval was constructed as .
Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval?
(A) We are 95 percent confident that any sample of 1,175 people will produce a sample proportion between
0.146 and 0.214.
(B) We are 95 percent confident that the proportion of all people in the country who think climate change is a
problem is between 0.146 and 0.214.
(C) We are 95 percent confident that the proportion of people in the sample who think climate change is a
problem is between 0.146 and 0.214.
(D) The
0.146 and 0.214.
(E) The probability is 0.95 that the proportion of all people in the country who think climate change is a problem
is between 0.146 and 0.214
