Hi, 

c​=0.95 ,o=2.5 ​, n= 36

Using Online t-vale calculator(may use chart) 

df = 36-1 =35 and .95 , the critical t-value (for small sample sizes) = 1.67

ME =%28+1.67%2A2.5%29%2Fsqrt%2836%29 = .695  0r  .7

Generally ME is given to the same amount of decimal points as is the standard deviation

Be nice when You are using Larger sample sizes and just the following values

can be used for z.

 = CI	z = value

90%	z =1.645

92%	z = 1.751

95%	z = 1.96

98%	z = 2.326

99%	z = 2.576
