Question for context: One way of checking for the effects of undercoverage, nonresponse, and other sources of bias in a sample survey is to compare the sample with known demographic facts about the population. The 2010 census found that 13.9%, or 32,576,000, of the 235,016,000 adults (aged 18 or older) in the United States identified themselves as being of Hispanic origin.  An opinion poll plans to interview 1500 adults at random. Find the probability that such a sample will contain between 12% and 16% adults of Hispanic origin. I'm not really sure how to solve this question and need some help!
