You are working on a political campaign for an upcoming election. You are asked to investigate the proportion of people that are going to vote for your candidate, Honest Jack. You randomly survey 127 people and ask them how they intend to vote. You find that the proportion of people that intend to vote for Honest Jack is 0.50. You decide to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion. Give your numerical answers as decimals to 3 decimal places.

a)The lower bound for this confidence interval is _____ and the upper bound for this confidence interval is_________ . 

You take this information to Honest Jack. He says something along the lines of how he didn't get to where he is today by making sense of upper and lower bounds, and he wouldn't know a confidence interval if it hit him in the face. Jack asks you to give it to him without all of the technical jargon attached. You start to think maybe Jack's opponent in this election isn't looking too bad after all.

b)Give an interpretation of the confidence interval you calculated that Jack might better understand.
