### Constructing a 99% Confidence Interval for Population Proportion#### Problem StatementIn a survey of 2583 adults, 1482 say they have started paying bills online in the last year. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion and interpret the results.#### SolutionA 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is \( ( \blacksquare , \blacksquare ) \) (Round to three decimal places as needed).#### Interpretation of ResultsChoose the correct answer below:- **A.** With 99% confidence, it can be said that the sample proportion of adults who say they have started paying bills online in the last year is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.- **B.** The endpoints of the given confidence interval show that adults pay bills online 99% of the time.- **C.** With 99% confidence, it can be said that the population proportion of adults who say they have started paying bills online in the last year is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.#### Explanation:To construct the confidence interval, we use the formula for the confidence interval for a population proportion \( p \):\[CI = \hat{p} \pm Z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1 - \hat{p})}{n}}\]Where:- \(\hat{p}\) is the sample proportion, \( \hat{p} = \frac{1482}{2583} \)- \( Z_{\alpha/2} \) is the critical value from the standard normal distribution for a 99% confidence level.- \( n \) is the sample size, \( n = 2583 \)Calculate \(\hat{p}\) and use the Z-value for 99% confidence level (approximately 2.576) to find the confidence interval.Select the correct interpretation based on the constructed interval.
