1. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion that express a great deal of confidence or quite a lot of confidence in the public schools, and interpret this interval. (____,____) (3 decimal places)
2. We are Answer ____% confident that the population proportion of adults having a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the public schools is between Answer ___ and ____.

4. Find the width of each interval by subtracting the lower proportion from the upper proportion, and state which interval is wider.The width of the 95% confidence interval is (Answer) ____ and the width of the 80% confidence interval is (Answer) ____ The 95% interval is wider. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
