According to the Center for Work-Life Policy, a survey of 500 highly educated women who left careers for family reasons found 66% wanted to return to work. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of highly educated women who left careers for family reasons and who want to return to work.
-------------------------
sample proportion: 0.66
---
E = 1.96*sqrt[0.66*0.34/500] = 0.04152
---
95% CI: 0.66-E < p < 0.66+E
