The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 383 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 84 read at or below the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.
