Answer:

I used the function 1-proportion z-interval on the calculator, where I inputted

  • Successes(x) = 64
  • Sample size(n) = 593
  • Confidence Level(C level) = 0.99

It would result in zInterval_1Prop 64,593,0.99: stat.results, where the values are shown below as:

  • Lower bound (CLower) = 0.075105
  • Upper bound (CUpper) = 0.140747
  • test statistic (p^) = 0.107926
  • Margin of error (ME) = 0.032821

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval would be around 0.11 ± 0.03 or range from 0.08 to 0.14.

Note: not sure if this is correct O_o
