Question
A survey was conducted to determine the proportion of adults who approve of attempts to clone a human. Based on the response of 1000 adults a 90% confidence interval was calculated to be (0.09, 0.13).
A.What is the point estimate of the true proportion of adults who approve of attempts to clone a human?
B.The margin of error for the confidence interval is:
