The mayor of a town has decided to support the development of a new highway by their town. The vote for the measure is scheduled for a month from now and the mayor is concerned that they may not have the majority of votes to pass this motion. They commission a survey that asks likely voters if they plan to vote for the measure. Of the 4893 people selected at random from likely voters, 2996 said they would vote in support of the new highway. Find the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of voters who will vote for the measure.
