B) We are 95% confident that at this university the proportion of first year students who bought used textbooks is between 23.2% and 42.1% higher than the proportion of second year students who bought used textbooks.
C) We know that 95% of first year students bought between 23.2% and 42.1% more used textbooks than second year students at this university.
D) We are 95% confident that first year students at this university bought between 23.2% and 42.1% more used textbooks than second year students.
E) We know that 95% of all random samples done on the population will show that the proportion of first year students who bought used textbooks is between 23.2% and 42.1% higher than the proportion of second year students who bought used textbooks.
