Step 1
Solution
Given:
Confidence interval in the trilinear inequality form:
Lower limit $< p <$ Upper limit
$53.5 % < p < 69.7 %$
Hence,
Lower limit $= 53.5 %$
Upper limit $= 69.7 %$
Step 2
Sample proportion $(\hat{p}) = \frac{Upper limit+Lower limit}{2}$
Plug in all the values in the formula, we get
Simple proportion $(\hat{p}) = \frac{69.7 % + 53.5 %}{2}$
Sample proportion $(w i d e \hat{p}) = 61.6 %$
Step 3
Margin of error $(M E) = \frac{Upper limit+Lower limit}{2}$
Plug in all the values in the formula, we get
Margin of error $(M E) = \frac{69.7 % + 53.5 %}{2}$
Margin of error $(M E) = 8.1 %$
Step 4
Express the confidence interval in the form $(\hat{p}) \pm E$
$(\hat{p}) \pm E - 61.6 % \pm 8.1 %$
