Answer the questions based on the compound statement 4≤5(1−p)<144\le 5(1-p) <14. (i) Solve the compound inequality and express the solution set for pp in interval notation. (ii) Show that multiplying each part of the inequality in (i) by −15-\dfrac{1}{5} reverses the inequality symbols and leads to the correct solution. Give a clear algebraic justification for each reversal. (iii) If the value of pp obtained in part (i) is required to be an integer, list all admissible integers and verify any two of them by substitution in the original compound statement.
