margin of error - a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in the results of a survey.
Formula: σp + z-score
a confidence interval for a population mean has a margin of error of 0.081a confidence interval for a population mean has a margin of error of 0.081
a confidence interval for a population mean has a margin of error of 0.081Margin of error = Interval Size/2
0.081 = Interval Size/2
Cross Multiply:
Interval Size = 0.081 * 2
Interval Size = [B]0.162[/B]

standard deviation of 545 dollars. Find the sample size needed to have a confidence level of 95% andstandard deviation of 545 dollars. Find the sample size needed to have a confidence level of 95% and margin of error 128
standard deviation of 545 dollars. Find the sample size needed to have a confidence level of 95% andStandard Error (margin of Error) = Standard Deviation / sqrt(n)
128 = 545/sqrt(n)
Cross multiply:
128sqrt(n) = 545
Divide by 128
sqrt(n) = 4.2578125
Square both sides:
[B]n = 18.1289672852 But we need an integer, so the answer is 19[/B]
