For 95% confidence interval we can calculate the true proportion as;
`P = barp+-1.96sqrt((barp(1-barp))/n)`
Where;
P = true proportion of perry como fans
`barp` = Observed proportion of perry como fans
n = sample size
In the above equation 1.96 stands for 95% confidence interval.
If you need 90% confidence...

For 95% confidence interval we can calculate the true proportion as;
`P = barp+-1.96sqrt((barp(1-barp))/n)`
Where;
P = true proportion of perry como fans
`barp` = Observed proportion of perry como fans
n = sample size
In the above equation 1.96 stands for 95% confidence interval.
If you need 90% confidence interval you should use 1.65 and for 99% confidence interval 2.58 respectively.
According to our data;
`barp = 56% = 0.56`
`n = 982`
`P = 0.56+-1.96sqrt((0.56(1-0.56))/982)`
For upper range P = 0.576 = 57.6%
For lower range P = 0.544 = 54.4%
So the true proportion of perry como fans is between 54.4%-57.6%.
