Answer: With a 95 percent confidence interval, you have a 5 percent chance of being wrong. With a 90 percent confidence interval, you have a 10 percent chance of being wrong. A 99 percent confidence interval would be wider than a 95 percent confidence interval (for example, plus or minus 4.5 percent instead of 3.5 percent)
