We are 99% sure that the true population mean falls in interval .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the sample proportion.

As per given , we have

Standard error = 0.024

Critical value for 99% confidence interval :

Confidence interval is given by :-

Then, the 99% confidence interval will be :-

Hence, a 99% confidence interval for the fraction of U.S. adult Twitter users who get some news on Twitter :

Interpretation : We are 99% sure that the true population mean falls in interval .

5x+2x=49
