Final answer:

The value of the margin of error (MOE) when it equals a value of E is 0.5E.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error (MOE) is the quantity that we add and subtract from the sample mean to obtain the confidence interval.

When MOE equals a value of E, the margin of error would be equal to half of E.

Therefore, the value of the margin of error would be 0.5E.
