Answer:

The eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely.

Step-by-step explanation:

An eighth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 8 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is \frac{1}{8} =0.125 inch.

Again a fourth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 4 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is \frac{1}{4} =0.25 inch.

Therefore, the eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely as it can measure more small measurements. (Answer)

scZoUnD [109]

Considering the margin of error, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of adults who say vaccines should be required is (64.9%, 71.1%).

<h3>What is a confidence interval?</h3>

It is given by the sample statistic plus/minus the margin of error.

In this problem, 68% of adults say such vaccines should be required, with a margin of error of 3.1%, hence:

68% - 3.1% = 64.9%.

68% + 3.1% = 71.1%.

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of adults who say vaccines should be required is (64.9%, 71.1%).
