Administration of the large university wishes to evaluate what proportion of their full time engineering students are female. If she gets random sample of a 100 engineering students from day campus of which 30 students are female what would her confidence interval be if she requires the confidence level of 80%?

a) Determine the point estimate (p) for percentage of engineering students that are female?
