Answer:

True. The confidence interval is between 2% and 14%

Explanation:

p= 8% or 0.08

n= 64


√(0.08(1-0.08)/64)


√(0.0736/64)= 0.03391; round to nearest hundredth = 0.03 Standard Error


0.08 +/- (1.96) (0.03)=

0.08 + 0.0588= 0.1388= 13.88%= 14%

0.08 - 0.0588= 0.0212= 2.12%= 2%

move the decimals 2 places and round to the nearest whole number to get the percentage
