Construct the $99$% confidence interval estimate of the population proportion $p$ if the sample size is $n = 300$ and the number of successes in the sample is $x = 159.$

$< p <$

Which of the following is the correct interpretation for your answer in part (a)?
A. There is a 99% chance that the percentage of successes in the population lies in the interval
B. We can be 99% confident that the percentage of successes in the population lies in the interval
C. We can be 99% confident that the percentage of successes in the sample lies in the interval
D. None of the above
