The confidence interval that is contained in the question shows that at 99% confidence, the interval falls between 0.43354,  0.5093

How to solve for the confidence interval

The sample size of the population is given as 1152

x = 543 that support the buy pas

We have to find the proportion

p = 543/1152

= 0.4714

α = 1 - 99%

= 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2

= 0.005

Zα/2 = 2.5758

In order to calculate this you have to use the critical value calculator on excel

[tex]0.4714+-\frac{\sqrt{0.4714(1-0.4714)} }{1152}[/tex]

0.4714 ± √0.0002163

0.4714 ± 0.0147x2.5758

0.4714 ± 0.03786

0.43354,  0.5093
