Qualitative-the variable can be numerically measured. O B. Quantitative-the variable can be numerically measured. O C. Qualitative-the variable classifies the individuals in the study. O D. Quantitative-the variable classifies the individuals in the study. (c) Estimate the proportion of individuals who suffer from sleep apnea who have gum disease with 95% confidence. Interpret your result. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Use ascending order. Round to three decimal places as needed.) A. There is a 95% chance that the true population proportion of individuals who suffer from sleep apnea who have gum disease is between and O B. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of individuals who suffer from sleep apnea who have gum disease is between and O C. 95% of the population lies in the interval between and
