    Step-by-step explanation:

    Confidence interval of a proportion is:

    CI = p ± CV * SE

    where p is the proportion,

    CV is the critical value (z score or t score),

    and SE is the standard error.

    The sample is large enough to estimate as normal. For 95% confidence level, CV = z = 1.96.

    Standard error for a proportion is:

    SE = √ (pq/n)

    SE = √ (0.1 * 0.9 / 400)

    SE = 0.015

    The confidence interval is:

    CI = 0.1 ± (1.96) (0.015)

    CI = (0.0706, 0.1294)

    Round as needed.
