A random sample of 20 purchases showed the sample mean of $48.77 and the sample standard deviation s is $17.58. How large is the margin of error for a 80 % confidence interval for the mean purchases of all customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data          

Sample Mean (M):  $48.77  

Sample Size (n): 20

Standard Deviation (σ) :  $17.58

Confidence Level: 80%

 we know that z*-Values for 80% Confidence  Levels is 1.28

the expression for margin of error is given bellow\

MOE= z*σ/√n

We can now substitute into the expression and solve for the MOE as

MOE= 1.28*17.58/√20

MOE= 22.502/4.47

MOE= 22.502/4.47

MOE= 5.03

The margin of error for a 80 % confidence interval is $5.03

5x+2x=49

7x=49
