If required, round your answer to two decimal places. 0.24 (b) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error? If required, round your answer to four decimal places. 0.0265 (c) What is the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who do think that today's children will be better off than their parents? If required, round your answers to four decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations 0.2135 to 0.2665 (d) What is the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who do not think that today's children will be better of than their parents? If required. round your answers to four decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations 0.499 to 0.561 (e) Which of the condence intervals in parts (c) and (d) has the smaller margin of error? Why? The confidence interval in part (0) bas the smaller margin of error. This is because farther from yos Hide feedback Partially Correct
