Give the best point estimate for p, the margin of error, and the confidence interval. Assume the results come from a random sample. A 99% confidence interval for p given that p = 0.75 and n = 110. Round your answer for the point estimate to two decimal places, and your answers for the margin of error and the confidence interval to three decimal places.

Suppose that we select samples of n = 75 schools at a time from the population of all four-year colleges and find the proportion of private schools in each sample. (a) Consider the distribution of these sample proportions when n = 75 and p = 0.62. What is its form?
