In a Gallup poll of 557 randomly selected adults, 284 said that they were underpaid. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of adults who say they are underpaid.
-----
p-hat = 284/557 = 0.51
----------------
ME = z*sqrt(p*q/n) = 1.96*sqrt[0.51*0.49/557] = 0.04
----
95% CI:: 0.51 - 0.04 < p < 0.51+0.04
95% CI:: 0.47 < p < 0.54
