The sample proportion is as follows

[tex]p=\frac{28}{105}=0.26666666666=0.267[/tex]

The confidence interval formula can be represented below

[tex]p\pm z\times\sqrt[]{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 0.267\pm1.645\times\sqrt[]{\frac{0.267(1-0.267)}{105}} \\ 0.267\pm1.645\times\sqrt[]{\frac{0.195711}{105}} \\ 0.267\pm1.645\times\sqrt[]{0.00186391428} \\ 0.267\pm0.0710197061 \\ 0.267-0.0710197061

upper limit = 0.338
