\[
(0.767,0.791)
\]

Answer

Final Answer: The margin of error (E) is \(\boxed{0.012}\) and the sample proportion (\(\hat{p}\)) is \(\boxed{0.779}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the confidence interval \((0.767,0.791)\)

Step 2 :The margin of error (E) in a confidence interval is calculated as half the width of the confidence interval. So, we calculate E as \(E = \frac{0.791 - 0.767}{2} = 0.012\)

Step 3 :The sample proportion (\(\hat{p}\)) is the midpoint of the confidence interval. So, we calculate \(\hat{p}\) as \(\hat{p} = \frac{0.791 + 0.767}{2} = 0.779\)

Step 4 :Final Answer: The margin of error (E) is \(\boxed{0.012}\) and the sample proportion (\(\hat{p}\)) is \(\boxed{0.779}\)
