Answer:

(B) 0.057

Step-by-step explanation:

The 95% confidence interval is (0.028, 0.086). The formula for the confidence interval is μ ± e where μ is the mean and e is the margin of error.

Therefore the confidence interval is (μ - e , μ + e).

That is μ - e = 0.028 and μ + e = 0.086

To get the point estimate which is the mean, we sum the two proportions and divide it by two.

Therefore point estimate (μ) = (0.028 + 0.086) / 2 = 0.057
