Question

A student was asked to find a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of students who take notes using data from a random sample of size n = 86. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval 0.12 < p < 0.32? Check all that are correct. With 99% confidence, a randomly selected student takes notes in a proportion of their classes that is between 0.12 and 0.32. There is a 99% chance that the proportion of notetakers in a sample of 86 students will be between 0.12 and 0.32. There is a 99% chance that the proportion of the population is between 0.12 and 0.32. The proprtion of all students who take notes is between 0.12 and 0.32, 99% of the time. With 99% confidence, the proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.12 and 0.32.
