If n=280 and ˆpp^ (p-hat) =0.71, find the margin of error at a
99% confidence level
Give your answer to three decimals
Solution :
Given that,
n = 280
= 0.71
1 - = 1 - 0.71 = 0.29
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 * ([(0.71 * 0.29)] / 280)
= 0.070
Margin of error at a 99% confidence level is 0.070
