Final answer:

The confidence interval (0.058,0.144) can be expressed in the form of p' - E by identifying the midpoint of the interval as the point estimate p' (0.101) and the difference between this point and either end of the interval as the error bound EBP (0.043).

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the confidence interval (0.058,0.144) in the form of p' - E, we first need to identify the point estimate p' and the error bound EBP. The point estimate is the midpoint of the interval, and the error bound is the distance from the point estimate to either end of the interval.

First, calculate the midpoint (point estimate p'):
(0.058 + 0.144) / 2 = 0.101

Next, calculate the error bound (EBP):
0.144 - 0.101 = 0.043 or 0.101 - 0.058 = 0.043

Therefore, the confidence interval can be expressed as:

p' - EBP = 0.101 - 0.043 = 0.058
p' + EBP = 0.101 + 0.043 = 0.144

In summary, the confidence interval is in the form of p' - E where p' = 0.101 and EBP = 0.043.
