If n=410 and ˆp (p-hat) =0.32, find the margin of error at a 99%
confidence level
=_____________ Give your answer to three decimals
Solution :
Given that,
n = 410
Point estimate = sample proportion = =0.32
1 - = 1 - 0.32 = 0.68
At 99% confidence level the z is ,
= 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01
/ 2 = 0.01 / 2 = 0.005
Z/2 = Z0.005 = 2.576
Margin of error = E = Z / 2 * (( * (1 - )) / n)
= 2.576 * (((0.32*0.68) / 410)
= 0.059
The margin of error is 0.059
