You draw a sample from the population of a town (n=312) and find out that of this sample, 23% are highly educated and 27% are low-educated. What is the 80% confidence level for the proportion of highly educated people in this town?
-----------
sample proportion = p-hat = 0.23
ME = 1.2816*sqrt[0.23*0.77/312] = 0.0305
-----
80% CI:: 0.23 - 0.0305 < p < 0.23 + 0.0305
