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. 59 of the 767 randomly selected people who were surveyed agreed with this theory.

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 betweenand .

b.  If many groups of 767 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.
