Question
An administrator at Milpitas High School would like to estimate, with 95% confidence, the percentage of students who will enroll in summer courses. Based on a random sample of data that is gathered, a 95% confidence interval is constructed. The interval is 15% ± 3%. If there are 2400 students who attend Milpitas High School, and if the administrator is estimating, with 95% confidence, that 15% ± 3% of these students will enroll in summer courses, this means the possible number of students who might enroll in summer courses is from
