A student uses a simple random sample to poll her school to see if the students are for or against the new rule requiring school uniforms. She surveys 600 students and finds that 480 of them are against the new uniforms. Check the conditions to construct a confidence interval for a proportion. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of students are against the new uniform rule. Interpret the confidence interval in the context of the scenario
