Math Problem Statement
A study on the effects of acid rain on trees in a particular forest found that 32 out of 77 sampled trees showed damage from acid rain. If you were to create a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of trees in the forest damaged by acid rain, what is the margin of error? [Giver your answer to 3 decimal places]
