We have given,              
              
          
n=1200          
Estimate for sample proportion=   0.75  
Level of significance is =0.02      
Z critical value(using Z table)=2.326      
              
Confidence interval formula is              


=(0.7209 , 0.7791)              
Lower limit for confidence interval=0.7209  
              
Upper limit for confidence interval=0.7791
