An epidemiologist wants to estimate the proportion of patients who tested positive for the new strain of vinus that are asymptomatic. In a sample of 300 patients who tested positive for the new strain of virus, 45 were asymptomatic. What is the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval estimating the proportion of patients who tested positive for the new strain of virus that are asymptomatic? Use the exact value for the sample proportion.
