A 90% confidence interval for the mean height of students is (62.134, 71.896). What is the value of the margin of error?
A
m = 134.03
B
m = 4.881
C
m = 67.015
D
m = 9.762
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Calculating a C% confidence interval with the Normal approximation. ˆp±z√ˆp(1−ˆp)n, where the value of z is appropriate for the confidence level. For a 95% confidence interval, we use z=1.96, while for a 90% confidence interval, for example, we use z=1.64.

Detailed explanation-2: -With a 90 percent confidence interval, you have a 10 percent chance of being wrong. A 99 percent confidence interval would be wider than a 95 percent confidence interval (for example, plus or minus 4.5 percent instead of 3.5 percent).

Detailed explanation-3: -A 90% confidence interval estimate for a population mean is determined to be 72.8 to 79.6. If the confidence level is reduced to 80%, the confidence interval for becomes narrower.
