Construct a​ 99% confidence interval for the population proportion. Interpret the results.
A​ 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is left parenthesis nothing comma nothing right parenthesis(,).
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
A) The endpoints of the given confidence interval show that adults pay bills online​ 99% of the time.
B) With​ 99% confidence, it can be said that the sample proportion of adults who say they have started paying bills online in the last year is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.

Construct a​ 99% confidence interval for the population proportion. Interpret the results.
-----
p-hat = 1442/3238 = 0.445
ME = 2.5758*sqrt[(1/2)(1/2)/3238) = 0.023
---
99%CI:: (0.445-0.023,0.445+0.023) = (0.422,0.468)
