Question
Home Internet Access In a recent year, a study found that 77% of adults ages 18–29 had internet access at home. A researcher wanted to estimate the proportion of undergraduate college students (18–29 years) with access, so she randomly sampled 186 undergraduates and found that 157 had access. Estimate the true proportion with 95% confidence. Round intermediate answers to five decimal places. Round your final answer to one decimal place.
