zc s x We can make a similar construction for a confidence interval for a population proportion. Instead of x, we can use p and instead of s, we use , hence, we can write the confidence interval for a large sample proportion as Confidence Interval Margin of Error for a Population Proportion margin of error formula Example 1000 randomly selected Americans were asked if they believed the minimum wage should be

raised. 600 said yes. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who believe that the minimum wage should be raised. Solution: We have

p = 600/1000 = .6 zc = 1.96 and n = 1000 We calculate: Hence we can conclude that between 57 and 63 percent of all Americans agree with the proposal. In other words, with a margin of error of .03 , 60% agree.

Calculating n for Estimating a Mean Example Suppose that you were interested in the average number of units that students take at a two year college to get an AA degree. Suppose you wanted to find a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of .5 for m knowing s = 10. How many people should we ask? Solution Solving for n in Margin of Error = E = zc s/ we have E = zcs zc s = E Squaring both sides, we get margin of error definition We use the formula: Example A Subaru dealer wants to find out the age of their customers (for advertising purposes). They want the margin of error to be 3 years old. If they want a 90% confidence interval, how many people do they need to know about? Solution: We have E = 3, zc = 1.65 but there is no way of finding sigma exactly. They use the following reasoning: most car customers are between 16 and 68 years old hence the range is Range = 68 - 16 = 52 The range covers about four standard deviations hence one standard deviation is about s @ 52/4 = 13 We can now calculate n: Hence the dealer should survey at least 52 people. Finding n to Estimate a Proportion Example Suppose that you are in charge to see if dropping a computer will damage it. You want to find the proportion of computers that break. If you want a 90% confidence interval for this proportion, with a margin of error of 4%, How many computers should you drop? Solution The formula states that Squaring both sides, we get that zc2 p(1 - p) E2 = n Multiplying by n, we get nE2 = zc2[p(1 - p)] This is the formula for finding n. Since we do not know p, we use .5 ( A conservative estimate) We round 425.4 up for greater accuracy We will need to drop at least 426 computers. This could get expensive.

engineering, see Tolerance (engineering). For the eponymous movie, see Margin for error (film). The top portion charts probability density against actual percentage, showing margin of error in polls the relative probability that the actual percentage is realised, based on the margin of error sample size sampled percentage. In the bottom portion, each line segment shows the 95% confidence interval of a sampling margin of error vs standard error (with the margin of error on the left, and unbiased samples on the right). Note the greater the unbiased samples, the smaller the margin of error. The margin of https://www.ltcconline.net/greenl/courses/201/estimation/ciprop.htm error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results. It asserts a likelihood (not a certainty) that the result from a sample is close to the number one would get if the whole population had been queried. The likelihood of a result being "within the margin of error" is itself a probability, commonly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error 95%, though other values are sometimes used. The larger the margin of error, the less confidence one should have that the poll's reported results are close to the true figures; that is, the figures for the whole population. Margin of error applies whenever a population is incompletely sampled. Margin of error is often used in non-survey contexts to indicate observational error in reporting measured quantities. In astronomy, for example, the convention is to report the margin of error as, for example, 4.2421(16) light-years (the distance to Proxima Centauri), with the number in parentheses indicating the expected range of values in the matching digits preceding; in this case, 4.2421(16) is equivalent to 4.2421 ± 0.0016.[1] The latter notation, with the "±", is more commonly seen in most other science and engineering fields.
