Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion about all students at the university, based on the given estimate and margin of error?
A
It is unlikely that less than 23 % of the students see a movie at least once per month.
B
At least 23%, but no more than 25 %, of the students see a movie at least once per month.
C
The researcher is between 19 % and 27 % sure that most students see a movie at least once per month.
