Question
An accounting professor is notorious for being stingy in giving out good letter grades. In a large section of 100 students in the fall semester, she gave out only 3% A's, 13% B's, 52% C's, and 32% D's and F's. Assuming that this was a representative class, compute the 99% confidence interval of the probability of getting at least a B from this professor. Use Z0.005 = 2.576 in your calculation. (You may find it useful to reference the z table. Round final answers to 3 decimal places.)
