Expert Solution
Step 1

I am sorry to say but your calculated Critical value ,Zα/2 is not correct.

Given information is as follows;

Total number of students at Douglas college , n = 200

Number of left handed students at Douglas college , x = 19

Confidence level , c = 99% ( 0.99)

 

Step 2 : Confidence Interval Formula :

The find confidence interval formula is as follows:

Statistics homework question answer, step 2, image 1

And here E is margin of error and to find this formula is as follows;

Statistics homework question answer, step 2, image 2

Here , 

Zα/2 is the critical value for the given confidence level.

n is the number of students.

p^ is the sample proportion value.

To find Confidence interval , very first step is to find Margin of error , E.
