Find 72 percent of 12,000.
Except that would only be true with probability p=0.8%
Ya gotta lurve elementary stats question with misleading wording.
About 72% of 12000 would be acceptable, but a single number is not.
(The probability of observing exactly 72% of 12000 CI containing the mean is ~0.8%)
