Given a sample proportion p from a sample of size n, we have seen that a 95% confidence interval for the underlying population proportion is given by (1-P) ± 1.961 n Suppose we want to estimate the proportion of all STAT1201 students who would say 'Yes' to the question Are you afraid of clowns? Based on the responses, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for this proportion is
