The confidence interval can be calculated by adding and subtracting the margin of error from the sample statistic.
In this case, the sample statistic is 57% and the margin of error is 4 percentage points.
To find the lower bound of the confidence interval, subtract the margin of error from the sample statistic: 57% - 4% = 53%.
To find the upper bound of the confidence interval, add the margin of error to the sample statistic: 57% + 4% = 61%.
Therefore, the confidence interval is 53% to 61%.
the following summary of a statistical study gives a sample statistic and a margin of error. find the confidence interval.
