In the study on a drug for lowering cholesterol levels, after 1 month:41 of 55 subjects reduced cholesterol with new medicine.34 of 50 subjects reduced cholesterol with old medicine.99% confidence interval: (–0.163, 0.293)Choose the correct conclusion.

A
We are 99% confident that the interval from -0.163 to 0.293 captures p1 – p2, the difference in the sample proportions of patients like these who would have their cholesterol lowered as a result of using the new drug versus using the old drug.
B
We are 99% confident that the interval from -0.163 to 0.293 captures p1 – p2, the difference in the true proportions of patients like these who lowered their cholesterol as a result of using the new drug versus using the old drug.
C
We are 99% confident that the interval from -0.163 to 0.293 captures p1 – p2, the difference in the true proportions of patients like these who would have their cholesterol lowered by using the new drug versus using the old drug.
D
We are 99% confident that the interval from -0.163 to 0.293 captures p1 – p2, the difference in the true means of patients like these who would have their cholesterol lowered by using the new drug versus using the old drug.
