    Suppose that a random sample of 100 part-time college students is 68% female. In this activity, we calculate the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all part-time college students that are female.   Recall that the 95% confidence interval is: sample proportion ± 2(SE) where SE is the standard error (or standard deviation). question 2: State the confidence interval. Then convert the values to percentages and interpret the confidence interval in context.
