Given:
Population proportion,
= 57% = 0.57
Population standard deviation, σ = 3.5% = 0.035
Sample size, n = 40
Confidence level = 95%
The standard error is
The confidence interval is
where
= sample proportion
z* = 1.96 at the 95% confidence lvvel
The sample proportion lies in the interval
(0.57-1.96*0.0783, 0.57+1.96*0.0783) = (0.4165, 0.7235)
Answer: Between 0.417 and 72.4), or between (41% and 72%)

I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like: 
. The first thing to do is to move the 
over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this: 
. The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.
