What is the margin of error? Explain how to interpret a “10% margin of error.”

What will be an ideal response?


Margin of error is half of a confidence interval, converted into a percentage of the value being estimated. A 10% margin of error means that product of the critical z or t and the standard error is 10% of the mean. For example, if the mean was 10, the margin of error would be 1 point –if we were to assume 10 to be the population mean, 95% of sample means would fall between 9 and 11.
