Final answer:

To find the margin of error for estimating a population proportion, use the formula Margin of Error = Z * sqrt((p * (1-p)) / n), where Z is the z-score, p is the estimated proportion of successes in the sample, and n is the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the margin of error for estimating a population proportion, we need to use the formula:

Margin of Error = Z * sqrt((p * (1-p)) / n)

Where Z is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level, p is the estimated proportion of successes in the sample, and n is the sample size. Since the question does not provide specific values for p and n, we cannot calculate the margin of error.
