Is this point estimate or an interval estimate

Reference no: EM13337921

During the month of July,an auto manufacturer gives its production employees a vacation period so it can tool up for the new model run. In surveying a simple random sample of 200 production workers, the personnel director finds that 38% of them plan to vacation out of state for at least one week during this period. Is this point estimate or an interval estimate? Explain.
