You can put this solution on YOUR website! A survey of an urban university (population of 25,450) showed that 870 of 1100 students sampled supported a fee increase to fund improvements to the student recreation center Using the 95% level of confidence, what is the confidence interval?
 -----
 sample proportion: 870/1100 = 0.7909
 -----
 ME = 1.96*sqrt[0.79*0.21/1100] = 0.0241
 --------------------
 95% CI: 0.79 - 0.0241 < p < 0.79 + 0.0241
 95% CI: 0.7659 < p < 0.8141
