The confidence interval is
0.59\pm0.081

We first find p, our sample proportion.  118/200 = 0.59.

Next we find the z-score associated with this level of confidence:
Convert 98% to a decimal: 98% = 98/100 = 0.98
Subtract from 1:  1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide by 2:  0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1:  1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value is associated with a z-score of 2.33.

The margin of error (ME) is given by
ME=z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}
\\
\\=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.59(1-0.59)}{200}}=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.2419}{200}}\approx0.081

This gives us the confidence interval 
0.59\pm0.081

Answer:

3x = 84 - 2y -  -  - (i) \\ 9x = 8y - 24 -  -  -  - (ii) \\ from \: (ii) \\ 3(3x) = 8y - 24 \\ but \: from \: (i) \:  \: 3x = 84 - 2y \\ hence \: put \: (i) \: in \: (ii) \\ 3(84 - 2y) = 8y - 24 \\ 252 - 6y = 8y - 24 \\ 276 = 14y \\ y =  \frac{138}{7}  \\ x =  \frac{104}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the inequality sign says greater than OR equal too, this would make the line solid, and since it's greater, all the values above that line would be included in the inequality
