    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) The formula for determining the standard error of the distribution of differences in sample proportions is expressed as

    Standard error = √{ (p1 - p2) / [ (p1 (1 - p1) / n1) + p2 (1 - p2) / n2}

    where

    p1 = sample proportion of population 1

    p2 = sample proportion of population 2

    n1 = number of samples in population 1,

    n2 = number of samples in population 2,

    From the information given

    p1 = 0.77

    1 - p1 = 1 - 0.77 = 0.23

    n1 = 58

    p2 = 0.67

    1 - p2 = 1 - 0.67 = 0.33

    n2 = 70

    Standard error = √{ (0.77 - 0.67) / [ (0.77) (0.23) / 58) + (0.67) (0.33) / 70}

    = √0.1 / (0.0031 + 0.0032)

    = √1/0.0063

    = 12.6

    the standard error of the distribution of differences in sample proportions is 12.6

    b) the sample sizes are large enough for the Central Limit Theorem to apply because it is greater than 30
