3.  About 13% of the United States population is left-handed.  Suppose that a researcher speculates that individuals with schizophrenia are more likely to be left-handed than the US population.  The researcher surveys 104 individuals with schizophrenia and finds that 22 of them are left-handed.  Based on this sample, is there enough evidence that the population proportion of individuals with schizophrenia who are left-handed is more than the 13% (or 0.13).  Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of individuals with schizophrenia who are left-handed. (f)  Interpret the 95% confidence interval.
