(c) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without. Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice.

(Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as needed. Use ascendingorder.)

A.

We are

nothing

% confident the proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is between

nothing

and

nothing

.

B.

There is a

nothing

% probability the proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is between

nothing

and

nothing

.

(d) Is it possible that a supermajority(more than60%) of adults in the country believe that television is a luxury they could dowithout? Is itlikely?

It is

possible, but not likely

not possible

likely

that a supermajority of adults in the country believe that television is a luxury they could do without because the 95% confidence interval
