The video tutorial explains how to determine the margin of error from a survey's confidence interval. It starts by defining the confidence interval and then describes the process of calculating the margin of error by subtracting the lower limit from the upper limit of the interval. The tutorial further explains the concept of positive and negative error and concludes with the final calculation of the margin of error, which is half the difference between the high and low ends of the confidence interval.
