Solution:Given that,{:[n=100],[ hat(p)=0.25]:}confidence level =90%{:[ hat(p)=0.25],[ hat(q)=1- hat(p)],[=1-0.25],[=0.75]:}At 90% confidence level{:[1-alpha=0.90],[alpha=1-0.90],[alpha=0.10],[(alpha)/(2)=0.05]:}z(alpha)/(2)=z 0.05=(1.645)/(" (vsing standard normal tabie) ")" Margin of error "{:[E=2(alpha)/(2)xxsqrt((( hat(p))-( hat(q)))/(n))],[=1.645 xxsqrt(((0.25)*(0.75))/(100))],[E=0.071]:}confidence intervel for ' p '{:[ hat(p)-E <= P <= hat(P)+E],[0.25-0.071 <= P <= 0.25+0.071],[0.179 <= P <= 0.32 ...
