Solution :

Given that,

n = 725

x = 621

Point estimate = = x / n = 621 / 725 = 0.857

1 - = 1 - 0.857 = 0.143

At 99% confidence level the z is ,

  = 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

/ 2 = 0.01 / 2 = 0.005

Z/2 = Z0.005 = 2.576

Margin of error = E = Z / 2 * (( * (1 - )) / n)

= 2.576 * (((0.857 * 0.143) / 725)

= 0.034

Margin of error = 0.034

A 99% confidence interval for population proportion p is ,

- E < P < + E

0.857 - 0.034 < p < 0.857 + 0.034

0.823 < p < 0.891

(0.823 , 0.891)

Lower limit = 0.823

Upper limit = 0.891
