Question 1078707: A college has 25000 students. To estimate the percentage of commuting students, a simple random sample of 900 students were selected for a survey. Of those surveyed, 760 students were commuting. The percentage of commuting students will be around ___________, give or take ______________or so. (Round both answers to the nearest percent.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Want the mean and the interval.
84% with an interval of 2% (84.4% with an interval of 2.4%, so rounds differently)
(0.821, 0.868)
The mean is 760/900
The interval is 1.96+/- sqrt (.84)*(.16)/900
