Which one of the following statements is true?   The sample proportion is a parameter. A confidence interval is computed in order to estimate an unknown sample statistic. The margin of error is affected by the size of the sample proportion. If you construct a confidence interval for a population proportion and the interval ends up being from 0.48 to 0.59, this means the population proportion is definitely larger than 0.50. If a 95% confidence interval is given as 0.32 to 0.46, this means the sample proportion must be 0.38.
