a)

                                                                                           x                    =   591
sample size n                    = 657.0
sample proportion     p̂ x/n= 0.9000
std error       =Se            =√(p*(1-p)/n) = 0.0117
for 95 % CI value of z= 1.96
margin of error E=z*std error                            = 0.0229
lower confidence bound=sample proportion-margin of error 0.8771
Upper confidence bound=sample proportion+margin of error 0.9229

  95% confidence interval =(0.877 , 0.923)

b)
