In the February 20th issue of the East Daily Times, it was reported that n = 418 insured patients were surveyed on their opinions about insurance rates. Of the 418 surveyed, Y = 280 blamed rising insurance rates on large court settlements against doctors. With 95% confidence, estimate the parameter p, that is, the proportion of all insured patients who blame rising insurance rates on large court settlements against doctors.
