Statistics - Finding a lower bound for a confidence interval help

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

http://puu.sh/lCPTC/b58a0fffba.png So when I attempted this problem I found the mean value to be 11/152 = .07236 The variance = (.07236)(1-.07236)=.06713 Sd = sqrt(.06713) = .259. Standard deviation accounting for population = .259/sqrt(152) = .021 To get a lower boundary of 95% we need the z score -1.645 Therefore, I would think the answer would be: .0723-1.645(.021) = .03775 However, webassign says this is wrong and should be .045. Where am I making a mistake?
