Question
### Expressing Confidence Intervals

To express the confidence interval (13.8%, 20%) in the form of \( \hat{p} \pm E \), follow the steps below:

1. **Calculate \( \hat{p} \)**:
   - \( \hat{p} \) is the midpoint of the confidence interval.
   - Formula: \( \hat{p} = \frac{\text{Lower limit} + \text{Upper limit}}{2} \)
   - Calculation: \( \hat{p} = \frac{13.8\% + 20\%}{2} = 16.9\% \)

2. **Calculate \( E \)**:
   - \( E \) is the margin of error.
   - Formula: \( E = \text{Upper limit} - \hat{p} \) or \( E = \hat{p} - \text{Lower limit} \)
   - Calculation: \( E = 20\% - 16.9\% = 3.1\% \)

3. **Express the interval in the form of \( \hat{p} \pm E \)**:
   - Result: \( 16.9\% \pm 3.1\% \)

Below this explanation, there are two boxes to fill in the calculated values:

**Boxes Explanation:**
- The first box is for \( \hat{p} \), which should be filled with **16.9%**.
- The second box is for \( E \), which should be filled with **3.1%**.

### Visual Explanation
- **Input Boxes:**
  - The left box: "16.9%"
  - The right box: "3.1%"

This helps in visualizing and properly expressing confidence intervals in a precise mathematical format.
