Answer:
The margin of error of his experiment is of 0.1074.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
The margin of error is of:
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
30 M & M's from a bag, and 3 of them are green.
This means that [tex]n = 30, \pi = \frac{3}{30} = 0.1[/tex]
Standard 95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
Margin of error:
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1*0.9}{30}}[/tex]
[tex]M = 0.1074[/tex]
The margin of error of his experiment is of 0.1074.
