In a recent survey, a random sample of OSU football fans was asked if they would consider dating someone who is a fan of a rival football team.   Based on the proportion who answered “yes” to this question, a 95% confidence interval was constructed, and this interval was from 0.66 to 0.80.  From this information, we can conclude that 1. less than half of the sample said they would consider dating a fan of a rival team. 2. if you randomly select one OSU football fan, there is a 95% chance that fan would consider dating someone who is a fan of a rival football team. 3. the sample proportion is definitely between 0.66 and 0.80. 4. the margin of error is equal to 0.05. 5. there is a 5% chance a mistake was made when constructing the confidence interval.
