Out of 300 people sampled, 180 had kids. Based on this, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids. Do not use StatCrunch. Show all formulas used, work and steps. Be sure to define your variables.

As in the reading, in your calculations:

--Use z = 1.645 for a 90% confidence interval

--Use z = 1.96 for a 95% confidence interval

--Use z = 2.576 for a 99% confidence interval

Give your answer in interval notation rounded to 3 decimal places. Then interpret your answer in a complete sentence within the context of the problem.
