In a survey of 3444 adults aged 57 through 85 years, it was found that 85.9% of them used at least one prescription medication. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. How many of the 3444 subjects used at least one prescription medication?=2958 (this was the correct answer.) b. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication. 86.3%
subjects used at least one prescription medication?=2958 (this was the correct answer.)
c. What do the results tell us about the proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication?
A. The results tell us that, with 90% confidence, the probability that a college student uses at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part (b).
or
B. The results tell us that there is a 90% probability that the true proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part (b).
or
C. The results tell us that, with 90% confidence, the true proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part (b).
or
