Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 99% confidence interval calculated from the data will contain the sample proportion of students who feel comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students because confidence intervals are constructed to estimate the true population parameter (in this case, the proportion of students comfortable reporting cheating) based on the sample data. The confidence level (99% in this case) indicates the degree of certainty that the interval contains the parameter.
