B. You can be 90% confident that the population proportion of all employees that take work with them on vacation lies within the interval in (a).
C. You can be 90% confident that the population proportion of the employees surveyed that say there are unwritten and unspoken expectations that they stay connected on vacation lies within the interval in (a).

d. Explain the difference in the results in (a) and (b). Choose the correct answer below.
A. The two confidence interval estimates overlap because the two separate point estimates are far enough apart.
B. The two confidence interval estimates do not overlap because the two separate point estimates are far enough apart.
