A random sample of 500 people shows that 33% of the 250 who were contacted by telephone actually made contributions, compared with only 22% of the 250 who received email requests. Which of the formulas calculates the 99% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of people who make donations when contacted by telephone versus those contacted by email?

start quantity 0.33 minus 0.22 end quantity plus or minus 2.576 times the square root of start quantity 0.33 times 0.67 all over 500 plus 0.22 times 0.78 all over 500 end quantity
start quantity 0.33 minus 0.22 end quantity plus or minus 2.576 times the square root of start quantity 0.33 times 0.67 all over 250 plus 0.22 times 0.78 all over 250 end quantity
