题目
In a random sample of students at Luciana’s college, students said that they liked exams. Luciana used this result to find an approximate confidence interval for the proportion, , of all students at her college who liked exams. Her confidence interval had width .
(a) Find the two possible values of .
Suzma independently took another random sample and found another approximate confidence interval for .
(b) Find the probability that neither of the two confidence intervals contains the true value of .

原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

Put . Using the 90% critical value , the width equation is
Hence
Thus
Therefore the two possible numbers are .
(b)
