  3. lower=0.488, upper=0.550

  4. yes, it is possible for the supermajority to believe this because the true proportion may not be included in the confidence interval, but no it is not likely

  3. lower=0.715, upper=0.785

  4. yes, it is possible for the proportion to be below 70% because the true proportion may not be included in the confidence interval, but no it is not likely
