It would be the difference between the two darker lines, or index lines, and then divide the space in between with your difference.

How do you find The margin of error for the confidence interval is?

Generally speaking an x% confidence interval has a margin of error of (100-x)%.


What map features allows readers to determine the distance and dimensions?

The dimensions or elevation on a map are marked by contour lines. The contour interval which indicates the height difference between lines is normally located in the margin of the map. The scale should also be located in the margin, indicating how much distance is covered in an inch or other set unit of the map.


How do you determine what the contour interval is when there is nothing noted in the margin like there is supposed to be?

All you do is figure out the distance between each contour line. For example, If you have contour lines labled as 100 miles, then skipping 4 lines, and the fifth contour line is labled 200 miles, there are 20 miles added to each line climbing in altitude (growing bigger). So, the contour interval is 20 miles. It is very simple because all that you must do is count between the labled contour lines to figure out how far apart they like 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.


What happens to the confidence interval as the standard deviation of a distribution increases?

The standard deviation is used in the numerator of the margin of error calculation. As the standard deviation increases, the margin of error increases; therefore the confidence interval width increases. So, the confidence interval gets wider.


What Happens To The Width Of The Confidence Interval If You Decrease The Confidence Level Decrease The Sample Size or Decrease the margin of error?

The width of the confidence interval willdecrease if you decrease the confidence level,increase if you decrease the sample sizeincrease if you decrease the margin of error.


In a confidence interval what information does the margin of error provide?

The confidence interval consists of a central value and a margin of error around that value. If it is an X% confidence interval then there is a X% probability that the true value of the statistic in question lies inside the interval. Another way of looking at it is that if you took repeated samples and calculated the test statistic each time, you should expect X% of the test statistics to fall within the confidence interval.


How does a relief of an area determine the contour interval used on a map?

Roxanne Lipsey: Contour lines are drawn at specific intervals, such as every 10 feet, 20 feet or 30 feet. Each line represents a multiple of the scale chosen. Using the 10-foot scale as an example, each contour interval would represent a 10 feet change in elevation.


In a poll of 100 adults 45 percent reported they believe in faith healing If the poll was based on 5000 adults would the confidence interval be wider or narrower?

The formula for margin of error is (Z*)*(Standard Deviation))/(sqrt(N)), so as N increases, the margin of error decreases. Here N went from 100 to 5000, so N has increased by 4900. This means the margin of error decreases. Since the confidence interval is the mean plus or minus the margin of error, a smaller margin of error means that the confidence interval is narrower.

The width of a confidence interval is equal to twice the value of the margin of error?

No. The width of the confidence interval depends on the confidence level. The width of the confidence interval increases as the degree of confidence demanded from the statistical test increases.


What determines an election poll's margin of error?

The confidence interval radius determines the margin of error. If you want more information visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error


What happens to the confidence interval if you increase the margin of error?

It depends on whether it is the Type I Error or the Type II Error that is increased.
