More carry-on bags for passengers on a flight can delay the loading and un-loading of passengers. Suppose a random sample of 600 passengers for an airline indicated that 172 had more than one carry-on bag. Calculate and interpret the 80% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of passengers for this airline that have more than one carry-on bag.
