What is the margin of error for this confidence interval?

Transcribed Image Text:In 2017, the CDC administered the Youth
Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) to a random
sample of 14,795 American middle and high
school students. The survey asked the
respondents whether they had ever been
cyberbullied. 2219 people answered YES,
and 12576 people answered NO. Calculate a
99% confidence interval for the proportion
of the high school students who have been
cyberbullied, and use these data to answer
the following questions.
What is the margin of error for this
confidence interval?
