You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n = 1090
\n" ); document.write( "x = 548
\n" ); document.write( "p = 548 / 1090 = .50275
\n" ); document.write( "s = sqrt(.50275 * (1 - .50275) / 1090) = .015144.
\n" ); document.write( "critical z at 99% two tailed confidence level = plus or minus 2.5758.
\n" ); document.write( "when z = 2.5758, z-score formula becomes 2.5758 = (x - m) / .015144.
\n" ); document.write( "solve for (x - m) to get (x - m) = 2.5758 * .01544 = .03901.
\n" ); document.write( "that's your margin of error.
\n" ); document.write( "your 99% confidence interval is from .50275 - .03901 to .50275 + .03901.
\n" ); document.write( "this is equal to from .46374 to .54176.
\n" ); document.write( "your solution is that the margin of error = (x - m) = .03901.\r
