Using complex numbers concepts, it is found that the statement is false.

When a complex number is a root of a polynomial function, it's conjugate also has to be.

A complex number has the format $a + bi$ , and it's conjugate is $a - bi$ .

In this problem:

Real root -3.
Complex-conjugate roots 1 + i and 1 - i.
Complex root -3 + 7i.

The conjugate of -3 + 7i also has to be a root, which would make the polynomial of the 5th degree, as it would have 5 roots, thus, the statement is false.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.9$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95$ , so the critical value is z = 1.645.
