    Express the confidence interval 0.039 < p < 0.479 in the form of p ± E.

    Express the confidence interval 0.039 < p < 0.479 in the form of p ± E. We find the range of this interval: Range = Upper Bound - Lower Bound Range = 0.479 - 0.039 Range = 0.44 Each piece on opposite sides of p gets: 0.44/2 = 0.22 So our expression becomes p ± 0.22
