Answer with explanation:

Sample Size=322

Success=270

Probability of Success(p)


=(270)/(322)\\\\=(135)/(161)

At 98% confidence interval , population proportion will be


=z_{98 \text{Percent}}* \sqrt{(p(1-p))/(n)}\\\\=0.8365 *\sqrt{((270)/(322)(1-(270)/(322)))/(322)}\\\\=0.8365 *\sqrt{((270)/(322)*((52)/(322)))/(322)}\\\\=(0.8365)/(322) * √(270 * 52)\\\\=0.00259782 * √(14040)\\\\=0.00259782 * 118.490\\\\=0.307817

= 0.308( approx to three decimal places.)
