What is the definition of Margin of Error?

Back

The Margin of Error is a statistic that expresses the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results. It represents the range within which the true population parameter is expected to fall.

What is a Confidence Interval?

Back

A Confidence Interval is a range of values, derived from sample statistics, that is likely to contain the value of an unknown population parameter. It is associated with a confidence level, such as 95%.

What does a 95% Confidence Interval mean?

Back

A 95% Confidence Interval means that if we were to take 100 different samples and compute a confidence interval for each sample, then approximately 95 of the intervals will contain the true population mean.

If the standard deviation is 0.3, what is the margin of error for a 95% confidence level?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between sample size and Margin of Error?

Back

As the sample size increases, the Margin of Error decreases, leading to a more precise estimate of the population parameter.

What is the formula for calculating the standard deviation from Margin of Error?

Front

If the confidence interval for a population mean is (20, 40), what is the sample mean?

Back

The sample mean is 30.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the confidence level on the Margin of Error?

Back

Increasing the confidence level results in a larger Margin of Error, as a wider range is needed to ensure that the true population parameter is captured.
