A small company involved in e-commerce is interested in statistics concerning the use of e-mail. A poll found that 37% of a random sample of 1122 adults, who use a computer at their home, work, or school, said they do not send or receive e-mail. Complete parts a through e.
a) Find the margin of error for this poll if we want 90% confidence in our estimate of the percent of American adults who do not use e-mail.
b.) Explain what that margin of error means.
c.) If we want to be 90% confident will the margin of error be larger or smaller?
d.) Find that margin of error.
e.) In general if all other aspects of the situation remain the same: will smaller margins of error involve greater or less confidence in the interval?
