    Answer:

    The confidence interval has an lower limit of \pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} and an upper limit of \pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}, in which \pi is the sample proportion and n is the size of the sample.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

    \pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

    In which

    z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

    90% confidence level

    So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

    The lower limit of this interval is:

    \pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

    The upper limit of this interval is:

    \pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

    The confidence interval has an lower limit of \pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} and an upper limit of \pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \pi + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}, in which \pi is the sample proportion and n is the size of the sample.
