1. Use the results of this survey to have an approximate 95% confidence interval estimate for the percentage of all American adults who have used the Internet to obtain medical information in the past month.
2. Calculate the 90% confidence interval.
3. Which confidence interval has the smaller margin of error? Why does this make sense?
4. Which confidence interval is more likely to contain the true percentage of all American adults who have used the Internet to obtain medical information in the past month? Briefly explain your reasoning.
