Answer #1

Given that, sample size (n) = 380

sample proportion (\hat p) = 0.68

A 90% confidence level has significance level of 0.10 and critical value is, Z_{\alpha/2} = 1.645

We want to find, the margin of error (E),

E = Z_{\alpha/2} *\sqrt {\frac {\hat p *(1-\hat p)}{n}} = 1.645 * \sqrt {\frac {0.68*(1-0.68)}{380}} = 0.0394

=> Margin of Error (E) = 0.0394
