    Step-by-step explanation:

    n = 1295

    x = 473

    /hat p = x / n = 473 / 1295 = 0.365

    1 - / hat p = 1 - 0.365 = 0.635

    At 95% confidence level the z is,

    /alpha = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

    /alpha / 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

    Z/alpha/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96

    Margin of error = E = Z/alpha / 2 * / sqrt ((/hat p * (1 - / hat p)) / n)

    = 1.96 * (/sqrt ((0.365 * 0.635) / 1295)

    = 0.026

    A 95% confidence interval for population proportion p is,

    /hat p - E < P
    0.365 - 0.026 < p < 0.365 + 0.026

    0.339 < p < 0.391

    (0.339, 0.391)
