Step 2

Computing the 99% confidence interval for population proportion:

It was found that, 341 out of the 1,000 adults said that they were comfortable.

That is, n=1,000 and the sample proportion, p-hat = 0.341 (=341/1,000). The confidence level is 95%. Therefore, the significance level, α = 0.05 and the z value corresponding to α/2 is 1.96.  The 95% confidence interval for population proportion is given by:
