p hat =178/359=0.4958
\n" ); document.write( "80% half-interval is z(0.90)*sqrt(0.4958*0.5042/359); z=1.282
\n" ); document.write( "=0.0338
\n" ); document.write( "The interval is (0.462, 0.530)
\n" ); document.write( "The interval then is 0.462 < mu < 0.530
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "0.4958+/- 0.0338 or 0.496+/- 0.034
