**Instruction:**

Express the confidence interval \(0.111 < p < 0.999\) in the form \(\hat{p} \pm E\).

**Solution:**

To express this confidence interval in the standard form \(\hat{p} \pm E\):

1. **Calculate the Point Estimate \(\hat{p}\):**
   \[
   \hat{p} = \frac{0.111 + 0.999}{2} = 0.555
   \]

2. **Calculate the Margin of Error \(E\):**
   \[
   E = \frac{0.999 - 0.111}{2} = 0.444
   \]

**Result:**

\[
\hat{p} \pm E = 0.555 \pm 0.444
\] 

This expression represents the confidence interval centered at \(\hat{p} = 0.555\) with a margin of error \(E = 0.444\).
