Suppose that the local authorities in a heavily populated residential area of downtown Hong Kong were considering building a new municipal swimming pool and leisure center. Because such a development would cost a great deal of money, it first of all needed to be established whether the residents of this area thought that the swimming pool and leisure center would be a worthwhile use of public funds. If 243 out of a random sample of 360 residents in the local area thought that the pool and leisure center should be built, determine with 95% confidence the proportion of all the local residents in the area who would support the proposal.
