A simple random sample of 1000 people age 18 or over is taken in a large town. It turns out that 332 people in the sample are newspaper readers. Calculate a 90%-confidence interval for the percentage of people (age 18 and over) in that town who read newspapers. Choose the closest answer. Group of answer choices (30.3%, 36.1%) (30.8%, 35.6%) (64.4%, 69.2%) (63.9%, 69.7%)
