A recent Mercer survey showed that 61% of U.S. employers were likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage in the upcoming year. Suppose the survey was based on a sample of 694 companies. Compute the margin of error and a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of companies likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage in the upcoming year. The margin of error: (to 4 decimals) The 95% confidence interval: ( ) (to 4 decimals) For many years businesses have struggled with the rising cost of health care.
