Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The confidence interval } 0.846 \pm 0.038 \text{ in open interval form is } (0.808,0.884)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The confidence interval is given as \(0.846 \pm 0.038\). This means that the interval extends 0.038 units above and below the central value of 0.846.

Step 2 :To express this in open interval form, we simply need to subtract 0.038 from 0.846 for the lower limit and add 0.038 to 0.846 for the upper limit.

Step 3 :Calculate the lower limit: \(0.846 - 0.038 = 0.808\)

Step 4 :Calculate the upper limit: \(0.846 + 0.038 = 0.884\)

Step 5 :\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The confidence interval } 0.846 \pm 0.038 \text{ in open interval form is } (0.808,0.884)}\)
