### Confidence Intervals for Proportions

Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d).

A drug is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 4301 patients treated with the drug, 140 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adverse reactions.

#### Steps:

1. **Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p.**
   - (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

2. **Identify the value of the margin of error E.**
   - E = 
   - (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

3. **Construct the confidence interval.**
   - < \( p \) < 
   - (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

4. **Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below.**
   - A. One has 99% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion.
   - B. One has 99% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
   - C. 99% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
   - D. There is a 99% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.

#### Note
- Be sure to perform appropriate rounding where indicated (to three decimal places).
- Ensure the accuracy of calculated values for meaningful interpretation of results.
