6. A researcher is interested in estimating the proportion of voters who favor a tax on e-commerce.

Based on a sample of 250 people, she obtains the following 99% confidence interval for the population proportionp:

0.113

Which of the statements below is a valid interpretation of this confidence interval? Select one:

a. If 100 different samples of size 250 were selected and, based on each sample, a confidence interval was constructed, exactly 99 of these confidence intervals would contain the true value ofp.

b. If many different samples of size 250 were selected and, based on each sample, a confidence interval was constructed, in the long run 99% of the confidence intervals would contain the true value ofp.

c. There is a 99% chance that the true value ofplies between 0.113 and 0.171.

d. If many different samples of size 250 were selected and, based on each sample, a confidence interval was constructed, 99% of the time the true value of p would lie between 0.113 and 0.171.
