Question

A New York Times/CBS poll surveyed 1,027 adults nationwide about race relations in the United States. Of the sample, 61% responded that race relations in this country are generally bad. The 95% confidence interval is (0.58, 0.64). Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the 95% confidence interval?

Answer 1

The interpretation is that we are 95% confident that the true population proportion p is somewhere between 0.58 and 0.64

The population proportion p in this case refers to the proportion of people who feel that race relations in this country are generally bad.

Something like 0.58 converts to 58% when you move the decimal point 2 spots to the right.
