University officials say that at least 70% of the voting student population supports a fee increase. If the 95% confidence interval estimating the proportion of students supporting the fee increase is [0.75, 0.85], what conclusion can be drawn?
A. 70% is not in the interval, so another sample is needed.
B.70% is not in the interval, so assume it will not be supported.
C.The interval estimate is above 70%, so infer that it will be supported.
D.Since this was not based on population, we cannot make a conclusion.

Answer:

The interval estimate is above 70%, so infer that it will be supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

The evidence that 95% confidence interval estimating the proportion of students supporting the fee increase is [0.75, 0.85] supports university officials' claim that at least 70% of the voting student population supports a fee increase.

Therefore we can infer that a fee increase will be supported.
