Answer to Question 1

1) A LARGE MARGIN OF ERROR CAUSED BY A SMALL SAMPLE SIZE (FOR EXAMPLE, 10 PLUS OR MINUS 20); OR 2) A SMALL SAMPLE PROPORTION AND A MARGIN OF ERROR THAT'S LARGER THAN THE SAMPLE PROPORTION (FOR EXAMPLE, 2 PLUS OR MINUS 5).

Answer to Question 2

ANY ANSWER THAT CONTAINS NEGATIVE NUMBERS AS PART OF THE INTERVAL AND HAS WIDTH OF 10, SUCH AS 2 PLUS OR MINUS 5, WHICH WOULD BE 3 TO 7.
