Solution
Find the margin of error for a poll, assuming that = 0.50. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.
standard error = sqrt( P*(1-P)/n)=sqrt(0.5*0.5/50) =0.0707
margin of error at 95%, =1.96*0.0707 = 0.1386
standard error = sqrt( P*(1-P)/n)=sqrt(0.5*0.5/200) =0.0354
margin of error at 95%, =1.96*0.0354 = 0.0694
standard error = sqrt( P*(1-P)/n)=sqrt(0.5*0.5/500) =0.0224
margin of error at 95%, =1.96*0.0224 = 0.0439
standard error = sqrt( P*(1-P)/n)=sqrt(0.5*0.5/2000) =0.0112
margin of error at 95%, =1.96*0.0112 = 0.0220
