    b. We are 95% confident that the proportion of coworkers who went on a vacation last year away from home for at least a week is between 50% and 66%.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A confidence interval at the level of x% for a proportion being between a and b means that we are x% sure that the true proportion of the population is between a and b.

    In this problem, we have that:

    95% C. I is (0.5, 0.66)

    Interpretation: 95% confident that the true proportion is between 0.5 and 0.66.

    The correct answer is:

    b. We are 95% confident that the proportion of coworkers who went on a vacation last year away from home for at least a week is between 50% and 66%.
