Explanation / Answer

Solution : Given that n = 2584 , x = 1484

=> population proportion p = x/n = 1484/2584 = 0.574

For 99% confidence interval , Z = 2.576

=> The 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is p +/- Z*sqrt(p*(1-p)/n)
  
=> 0.574 +/- 2.576*sqrt(0.574*(1 - 0.574)/2584)

=> ( 0.549 , 0.599)

=> option A. with 99% confidence,it can be said that the population proportion of adults who say they have started paying bills online in the last year is between the end points of the given confidence interval
