In a recent poll, 560 people were asked if they liked dogs, and
7% said they did. Find the margin of error of this poll, at the 90%
confidence level.
Give your answer to three decimals
Solution :
Given that,
n = 560
=7% = 0.07
1 - = 1 - 0. 07= 0.93
At 90% confidence level the z is ,
= 1 - 90% = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10
/ 2 = 0.10 / 2 = 0.05
Z/2 = Z0.05 = 1.645
Margin of error = E = Z / 2 * (( * (1 - )) / n)
= 1.645 * (((0.07 * 0.93) / 560) = 0.018
Margin of error = E = 0.018
