Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Margin of error is the maximum expected difference between the actual population parameter and a sample estimate of the parameter. In other words, it is the range of values above and below sample statistics.

Detailed explanation-2: -The absolute value of the difference between the sample mean, x̄, and the population mean, , written |x̄ − |, is called the sampling error.
