Question
A psychologist is interested in constructing a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain. 68 of the 702 randomly selected people who were surveyed agreed with this theory. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

a. With 99% confidence, the proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain is between [blank] and [blank].

b. If many groups of 702 randomly selected people are surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About [blank] percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain, and about [blank] percent will not contain the true population proportion.
