A sample consisting of 720 adults who own televisions was selected at random for a study. Based on the sample, it is estimated that 32 % of all adults who own televisions use their televisions to watch nature shows, with an associated margin of error of 3.41 %. Which of the following is the most plausible conclusion about all adults who own televisions?

  1. A

    More than 35.41 % of all adults who own televisions use their televisions to watch nature shows.

  2. B

    Between 28.59 % and 35.41 % of all adults who own televisions use their televisions to watch nature shows. 

  3. C

    Since the sample included adults who own televisions and not just those who use their televisions to watch nature shows, no conclusion can be made.

  4. D

    Since the sample did not include all the people who watch nature shows, no conclusion can be made.
