72*12 = 2*2*2*2*2*3*3*3 = 2^5*3^3
Answer:
The smallest value of p+q is 11
It happens when p = 6 and q = 5.
=======================================================
Explanation:
Let's factor 180 in such a way that exactly one factor is a perfect square.
I'll ignore the trivial factor of 1.
Here are the possible factorizations we could go with:
180 = 4*45
180 = 9*20
180 = 36*5
Those factorizations then lead to the following

Then we have
p+q = 2+45 = 47
p+q = 3+20 = 23
p+q = 6+5 = 11
The smallest value of p+q is 11 and it happens when p = 6 and q = 5.
Side note: p+q is smallest when we go with the largest perfect square factor.
Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower bound of the 99% confidence interval is given by:
d. 68.39%.
<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>
A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

In which:
is the sample proportion.
In this problem, we have a 99% confidence level, hence
, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so the critical value is z = 2.575.
The sample size and estimate are given by:

Hence, the lower bound is given by:

Hence the lower bound is of 68.39%, which means that option D is correct.
