a) The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is (0.1678, 0.2122). This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is between 0.1678 and 0.2122.

b) The 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is (0.1608, 0.2192). This means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is between 0.1608 and 0.2192.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence interval $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$n = 1200, \pi = \frac{229}{1200} = 0.19$

(a) 95% confidence interval.

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96 .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.19 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{1200}} = 0.1678$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.19 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{1200}} = 0.2122$

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is (0.1678, 0.2122). This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is between 0.1678 and 0.2122.

(b) 99% confidence interval.

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so Z = 2.575 .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.19 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{1200}} = 0.1608$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.19 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{1200}} = 0.2192$

The 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is (0.1608, 0.2192). This means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion of respondents who think current environmental regulations are too strict or not too strict is between 0.1608 and 0.2192.

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

+ 5x + 5x

-32 = 8x

8 8

- 4= x
