Poll estimates the proportion of voters who support a certain candidate using the following confidence interval: 0.435 < p < 0.485. They used a 95% level of confidence.
Select the statement that is most correct.
A. Unless the poll asked all voters their preference, we cannot use this interval to know whether or not the candidate has a majority of voter support.
B. If the interval included 0.50, then we could conclude that the candidate has a majority of voter support.
C. The entire interval is below 0.50, but since it is very close to 0.50, we cannot say that this candidate does not have a majority of voter support.
D. Since the entire interval is below 0.50, we can conclude that this candidate does not have a majority of voter support.
