Answer:   10% and 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The percentage of  people reported that they recycle on a regular basis : [tex]\hat{p} =69\%[/tex]

Margin of error :[tex]E= 4.5\%[/tex]

Confidence interval for percentage :

[tex]\hat{p} \pm\ E\\\\=69\%\pm4.5\%\\\\=(69\%-4.5\%\ , 69\%+4.5\%)=(64.5\%\ ,\ 73.5\%)[/tex]

Let's check the given options :

10% and 70%  , it do not contains the above interval as upper bound of this  interval (70%) is lower than the upper bound of confidence interval (73.5%)

30% and 75% , it contains confidence interval( 64.5% , 73.5% ).

60% and 80%, it contains confidence interval( 64.5% , 73.5% ).

63% and 74% , it contains confidence interval( 64.5% , 73.5% ).

Hence, the correct answer is 10% and 70%.
