A recent survey conducted by the Country Financial Security Index asked adults 18 and older if they felt that next year will be financially better for them. Thirty percent of the respondents answered Yes.
 
  To verify these findings, a random sample of 250 adults was asked the same question. A total of 55 adults from this sample responded Yes. Which of the following statements is correct?A) The interval that contains 95 of the sample proportions is 0.205 and 0.395. Because the sample proportion is between these two values, we have support for the results of the Country Financial Security Index survey.
  B) The interval that contains 95 of the sample proportions is 0.205 and 0.395. Because the sample proportion is not between these two values, we do not have support for the results of the Country Financial Security Index survey.
  C) The interval that contains 95 of the sample proportions is 0.243 and 0.357. Because the sample proportion is between these two values, we have support for the results of the Country Financial Security Index survey.
  D) The interval that contains 95 of the sample proportions is 0.243 and 0.357. Because the sample proportion is not between these two values, we do not have support for the results of the Country Financial Security Index survey.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
