Since we’re finding a confidence interval for the mean height, the formula we will use for the margin of error is: Z * √(p* (1-p)) / n) The following image shows how to calculate the margin of error for this confidence interval:
Margin of error refers to the method of measuring the level of uncertainty while making a survey from a sample of data. While conducting a survey from a set of sample data, it is often not possible to gather the relevant information from each and every sample due to the large volume.
