Refer to the following scenario. A government official is in charge of allocating social programs throughout the city of Vancouver. He will decide where these social outreach programs should be located based on the percentage of residents living below the poverty line in each region of the city. He takes a simple random sample of 122 people living in Gastown and finds that 24 have an annual income that is below the poverty line.

For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line.

the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line.
A. 19.67% (24/122) of Gastown residents are living below the poverty line. true
B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of Gastown residents who are living below the poverty line equals 24/122.

residents who are living below the poverty line equals 24/122. false
