Answer with explanation:

Population Mean = 25

Standard Deviation =2.5


Z_ {Score} =(5)/(100)\\\\Z_ {Score} =0.05\\\\Z_(0.05)=0.5199

Let ,Margin of error= m

And, Sample Population = n


m=Z_(0.05) * (\sigma)/(√(n))\\\\ m=0.5199 * (2.5)/(√(25))\\\\m=0.5199 * 0.5\\\\m=0.25995

m= 0.2599 × 100%

m=25.99%=26%

Option A: 25=Margin of error
