They select a random sample of voters in the county and find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of voters in this county who would vote yes.

Recall that a hypothesis test is used when we want to test an assertion or a claim.

For the given case, there is no assertion or any claim so this is definitely not a hypothesis test.

This is in fact a confidence interval since we are interested in the proportion of voters in this county who would vote yes.

The confidence interval would give us a fair estimate of the true population proportion of voters in this county who would vote yes.

Now coming to whether is it a 1 proportion or 2 proportion confidence interval.

Notice that there is only 1 proportion for the given case that is the proportion of voters in this county who would vote yes.

Therefore, the need to use "1 proportion (z) confidence interval"
