For many years, businesses have struggled with the rising cost
of health care. But recently, the increases have slowed due to less
inflation in health care prices and employees paying for a larger
portion of health care benefits. A recent survey showed
that 64% of employers are likely to require higher employee
contributions for health care coverage this year relative to last
year. Suppose the survey was based on a sample
of 900 companies likely to require higher employee
contributions for health care coverage this year relative to last
year.
At 95% confidence, compute the margin of error for the
proportion of companies likely to require higher employee
contributions for health care coverage. (Round your answer to four
decimal places.)
Compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of
companies likely to require higher employee contributions for
health care coverage. (Round your answers to four decimal
places.)
