A simple random sample of size n equals 400 individuals who are currently employed is asked if they work at home at least once per week. Of the 400 employed individuals surveyed, 34 responded that they did work at home at least once per week. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of employed individuals who work at home at least once per week.
The lower bound is
We have given,
x=34
n=400
Estimate for sample proportion
Level of significance is =1-0.99=0.01
Z critical value(using Z table)=2.58
Confidence interval formula is
=(0.0491,0.1209)
Lower limit for confidence interval=0.0491
