Algebra.Com's Answer #851099 by CPhill(1987) You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the margin of error (E), we'll use the following formula:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "E = z_c * (σ / √n)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Where:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* E = margin of error \n" ); document.write( "* z_c = the critical z-value corresponding to the confidence level (c) \n" ); document.write( "* σ = the population standard deviation \n" ); document.write( "* n = the sample size\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**1. Find the Critical z-Value (z_c)**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* c = 0.95 (95% confidence level) \n" ); document.write( "* For a 95% confidence level, the critical z-value (z_c) is approximately 1.96. You can find this value using a z-table or a calculator.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**2. Plug in the Values**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* z_c = 1.96 \n" ); document.write( "* σ = 3.1 \n" ); document.write( "* n = 64\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "E = 1.96 * (3.1 / √64)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**3. Calculate the Margin of Error**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* √64 = 8 \n" ); document.write( "* E = 1.96 * (3.1 / 8) \n" ); document.write( "* E = 1.96 * 0.3875 \n" ); document.write( "* E = 0.76\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**Answer:**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "E = 0.760 (rounded to three decimal places) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
