Question 881319: Respond to the following to describe a "real world" scenario where a researcher might want to construct a confidence interval to support a conclusion about a population parameter.
Would this be a good example to use?
"In a survey of 1000 U.S. adults, 662 said that it is acceptable to check personal e-mail while at work. Find a point estimate for the population proportion of U.S. adults who say it is acceptable to check personal e-mail while at work."
