Final answer:

The maximum error of estimate will be larger when a 99% confidence interval is calculated instead of a 95% confidence interval with the same sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum error of estimate will be larger when a 99% confidence interval is calculated instead of a 95% confidence interval with the same sample size. This is because a higher confidence level requires a wider interval to capture more of the distribution.
