Question

A random sample of CGCC students found that 19% say math is their favorite subject with a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.a) What is the confidence interval? % to %b) What does the confidence interval mean?

Answer 1

If 19% say that math is their favorite subject, with a margin of error of 2.5%, then the confidence of interval is:

`\begin{gathered} Confidence\text{ of interval= 19\% math }\pm\text{ 2.5\% margin of error} \\ Confidence\text{ of interval= 16.5\% to 21.5\%} \end{gathered}`

b) The confidence of interval is the range of values in which you think the study or the values are going to fall between if anyone redo the study, it doesn't contain the margin of error because this percentage means the probability that the values aren't going to fall between the confidence of interval.
