Question 12 • CA-Statistics and Probability B
A confidence interval describes uncertainty about the population proportion, not the exact proportion in the sample or population. The interval 0.397 to 0.503 means we are 90% confident that it captures p, the true proportion of all US doctors who are satisfied with the current state of US health care. Choice B describes a sample proportion rather than a confidence interval for the population proportion.
