The 200 people were shown a movie based on the book and then asked whether they liked or disliked the movie. Of those surveyed, 95% said they disliked the movie. Which inferences can appropriately be drawn from this survey result? A) At least 95% of people who go see movies will dislike this movie. B) At least 95% of people who read books will dislike this movie. C) Most people who dislike the book will like this movie. D) Most people who like the book will dislike this movie.
