Hypothesis testing — practice question
A random sample of $75$ students from a large college was used for a survey. $15$ of the students said that they owned a car. Using this information, an approximate $\alpha\%$ confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the college who own a car was found. The interval width was $0.162$.
