9. (5 pts) A public health survey in a large metropolitan area was used to find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of children of age 0 to 14 who are lacking adequate polio immunizations. The 95% confidence interval was (0.058, 0.079). Is the probability that the proportion of children in this metropolitan area who are inadequately immunized for polio lies between 0.058 and 0.079 equal to 0.95? Explain your reasoning.
