Question

Express the confidence interval (63.3%, 79.1%) in the form of ˆp ± ME. ___% ± ___%

Answer 1

Answer:

$p \± ME$ $\to$ $71.2\% \± 7.9\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(63.3\%,79.1\%)$

Required

Express in form of: $p \± ME$

First, calculate the midpiont (p)

$p = \frac{63.3\% + 79.1\%}{2}$

$p = \frac{142.4\%}{2}$

$p = 71.2\%$

The margin of error (ME) is:

$ME =79.1\% - 71.2\%$

$ME =7.9\%$

So, we have:

$p \± ME$ $\to$ $71.2\% \± 7.9\%$
