A poll of 500 college students showed that 38% of them perform some volunteer work. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all students who perform some volunteer work.
------
sample proportion:: 0.38
ME = 2.5758*sqrt[0.38*0.62/500] = 0.0559
-----
99%CI: 0.38-0.0559 < p < 0.38+0.0559
