Jessie Boone · Answer 1

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Eligible for legal citizenship = 63%

Error = 3%

Level of confidence = 95%

Here, the CI is 63% ± 3%, which means 60% to 66% and this indicates that with 95% confidence, the true proportion lies between this interval

This is shown by option B

Hence, option B is correct answer
