Margin of error is important in determining the probability as it gives realistic data for the distribution. The formula to be followed for margin of error is m% = z * sqrt (p * (1-p)) / n where p is the % positive outcome, n is the sample size and z * is a constant dependent to % confidence level. Substituting, m% = z * (0.03). Level of confidence is not given but assuming at95% CF, m% = 6%
