so its A) 1.13 they should ask you for a margin of error that is within some sort of range if we wanted a margin of error of 2% .... etc .02 = z(.5657) z = 2/(56.57) or about .04 but thats usually not what is asked. they usually want to know what size sample we should get to be say 95% confident that the margin of error is with 2% .02 = 1.96(4/sqrt(n)) and we can solve for n
