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.
----------------------
sample proportion = 284/557 = 0.5099
Margin of Error = z*sqrt(pq/n) = 1.96*sqrt[0.5099*0.4901/557] = 0.0415
----
95% CI:: 0.5099-0.0415 < p < 0.5099+0.0415
