answer: 405
Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of sales that occured in December is (0.1648, 0.2948).
<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>
A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

In which:
is the sample proportion.
In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence
, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so the critical value is z = 1.96.
The sample size and the estimate are given by:

Hence:


The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of sales that occured in December is (0.1648, 0.2948).
