p = 388/600 = 0.6467

b) Z for 99% confidence interval = Z0.005 = 2.575

Margin of error = Z0.005 * sqrt(p * (1 - p) / n)

                        = 2.575 * sqrt(0.6467 * (1 - 0.6467) / 600)

                        = 0.0502

a) Confidence interval = p + margin of error

                                    = 0.6467 + 0.0502

                                    = 0.5965 < p < 0.6969
