In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .
Of the 2809 people who responded to survey, 1634 stated that they currently use social media.
This means that
98% confidence level
So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
The lower limit of this interval is:
The upper limit of this interval is:
The 98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of adults who use social media is (0.56, 0.6034).
