?(a) Construct a? 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from the South who say traffic congestion is a serious problem. The? 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from the South who say traffic congestion is a serious problem is ( ? , ? ) .?(Round to three decimal places as? needed.)

?(b) Construct a? 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from the East who say traffic congestion is a serious problem. Is it possible that these two proportions are? equal? Explain your reasoning.

The? 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from the East who say traffic congestion is a serious problem is ( ? , ? ) .?(Round to three decimal places as? needed.) Is it possible that these two proportions are? equal?

Yes because the? 99% confidence interval for the South overlaps with the? 99% confidence interval for the East or
