The confidence interval is
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
This gives us the confidence interval

Answer:
x = - 3 is extraneous
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 1 = x ( add 1 to both sides )
= x + 1 ( square both sides )
x + 7 = (x + 1)² ← distribute right side
x + 7 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x + 7 from both sides )
0 = x² + x - 6 ← in standard form
0 = (x + 3)(x - 2) ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.
x = - 3 : - 1 =
- 1 = 2 - 1 = 1 ≠ - 3
x = 2 : - 1 =
- 1 = 3 - 1 = 2
x = 2 is a solution and x = - 3 is extraneous
