An Internet service provider is interested in estimating the proportion of homes in a particular community that have computers but do not already have Internet access.

A total of 188 homes responded to the survey question with 38 saying that they had a computer with no Internet access. The 95 percent confidence interval estimate for the true population proportion is approximately 0.1447 - 0.2595.
