Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d). A research institute poll asked respondents if they felt vulnerable to identity theft. In the poll, n equals 1036 and x equals 583 who said "yes." Use a 90 % confidence level. Required:
a. Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p.
b. Identify the value of the margin of error E =
c. Construct the confidence interval.
d. Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval.

1. One has 99% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
2. There is a 99% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
3. 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.
