Question
![A random sample of 5005 adults in a country includes 760 who do not use the Internet. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet. Based on the result, does it appear that the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet is different from 48%, which was the percentage in the year 2000?

**Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet.**
\[ \hat{p} \pm E \]
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
**Does it appear that the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet is different from 48%?**
- ○ A. Because 48% is contained within the confidence interval, it appears that the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet is different from 48%.
- ○ B. Because 48% is not contained within the confidence interval, it does not appear that the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet is different from 48%.
- ○ C. Because 48% is not contained within the confidence interval, it appears that the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet is different from 48%.
- ○ D. Because 48% is contained within the confidence interval, it does not appear that the percentage of adults in the country who do not use the Internet is different from 48%.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/12242d4b-7b26-4cfa-b51a-17fe291950d2/0550209f-b7c1-40df-a6b1-195608d4cbfa/2n2r6kh_thumbnail.jpeg)
