Question

In this question, I don't understand how we got number 1.96 where I have highlighted. Please help me to explain. Thank you. 

Call to technical support service of a software company are monitored on a sampling basis for quality
assurance. Each monitored call is classified as satisfactory or unsatisfactory by the supervisor in terms of
the quality of help offered. A random sample of 100 calls was monitored over one month for the new
trainee; 6 calls were classified as unsatisfactory.
(а)
Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the actual proportion of unsatisfactory calls during a month.
Solution:
p ± Za/2/pâ/n = 0.06 ± 1.96/0.06 x 0.94/100 = 0.06 ± 0.046547, or (0.01345, 0.10655)
