Use a proportional confidence interval formula:
CI95 = p + or - (1.96)(√pq/n)
Note: + or - 1.96 represents 95% confidence interval.
For p in your problem: .42
For q: 1 - p = 1 - .42 = .58
n = 1500
I let you take it from here to calculate the interval.
Us travel data center survey of 1500 adults found that 42% of respondents stated that they favor historical sites. Find the 95% confidence interval of the true proportion of all adults who favor visiting historical sites.
