In monitoring lead in the air after the explosion at the battery factory, it is found that the amounts of lead over a 6 day period had a standard error of 1.93. Find the margin of error that corresponds to a 95% confidence interval. (Round to 2 decimal places) 4.56

1.54

Margin of error M. E = 1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

x+/-M. E

Where M. E = margin of error

M. E = zr/√n

Given that

Standard deviation r = 1.93

Number of samples n = 6

Confidence interval = 95%

z (at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

M. E = (1.96*1.93/√6) = 1.544321633166

M. E = 1.54 (to 2 decimal place)

Margin of error M. E = 1.54
