Answer:

(0.3798, 0.4602)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is \hat{p}=0.42 and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of \hat{p} is \sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{0.42(0.58)/1000}=0.0156. Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by \hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}} where \alpha=0.01 and z_{\alpha/2} is the \alpha/2th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, 0.42\pm z_{0.005}0.0156, i.e., 0.42\pm(-2.5758)(0.0156) or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).

Why do you think we have more protests in modern times than in earlier time periods?
Wittaler [7]
I think there are more protests in modern day times rather then in the earlier time periods, because people are now more aware of their rights, and how they influence the way their country is run. Also, nowadays most countries are democratic, meaning that everyone can express their opinions and people protest as a way of expressing their opinions about something.
