A company conducted a study to determine the percentage of employees who commute more than 2 hours everyday. Results revealed a percentage of employees who commute more than 2 hours every day of 23% and a 95% confidence interval of 19% to 27%. Which of the following is the best interpretation of that confidence interval? We are 95% confident that the interval from 19% to 27% actually does contain the true value of the population proportion. 95% of sample proportions will fall between 19% and 27%. There is a 95% chance that the true value of the proportion will fall between 19% and 27%.
