A psychologist is interested in constructing a 95% 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. 74 of the 815 randomly selected people who were surveyed agreed with this theory. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a.  With 95% 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_____and _____ . b.  If many groups of 815 randomly selected people are surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About _____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 ______percent will not contain the true population proportion.
