Based on a poll of 500 citizens, a property development group claims that 54% of the population is in favor of the construction of a new hotel near the airport. an environmental group claims that the poll is not valid and that only 38% of the citizens favor the construction of the hotel. to determine whether this sample supports the population proportion of 0.54, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample size of 200 and a point estimate of 0.38. the minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.32, and the maximum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.50. the margin of error of the population proportion is found using an estimate of the standard deviation. what is the interval estimate of the true population proportion?
