Given:


confidence-interval:(0.038,0.088)

To Determine:The expression of the given in the form


\hat{p}-E<p>Solution</p><p>ˆp will be halfway between our lower- and upper-bound, and so we take the average of the two bounds</p><p>Let us find the average of the interval</p>[tex]p=(0.038+0.088)/(2)
\begin{gathered} p=(0.126)/(2) \\ p=0.063 \end{gathered}

Therefore, we have


\begin{gathered} So \\ \hat{p}-E=0.038 \\ 0.063-E=0.038 \\ 0.063-0.038=E \\ 0.025=E \\ OR \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \hat{p}+E=0.088 \\ 0.063+E=0.088 \\ E=0.088-0.063 \\ E=0.025 \end{gathered}

Hence, we have

0.063 - 0.025 < p < 0.063 + 0.025
