What is the definition of Margin of Error?

Back

The Margin of Error is the range of values above and below the sample statistic in a confidence interval, indicating the potential error in estimating the population parameter.

If the margin of error in a confidence interval is 8 and the sample mean is 200, what is the upper bound of the confidence interval?

Back

The upper bound of the confidence interval is 208.

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.
