61% is the biggest range yes

kj4uts · Answer

So for these types of questions the largest percentage (or range) would be the answer?

amistre64 · Answer

not sure what type of question it is,  but sure.

the largest interval range is the one that makes us the most confident.

we like to see intervals of confidence of 99%  or 99.9%
