The margin of error in estimation provides a practical upper bound to the difference between a particular estimate and the parameter that it estimates. In this chapter, the margin of error, whenever the confidence level is not explicitly specified, is 1.96*(standard error of the estimator) 7.2. For the estimate of μ given as _ x , the margin of error is 1.96 n x σ σ 96 . 1 = . a . 620 . 40 2 96 . 1 = b . 186 . 100 9 . 96 . 1 = c . 960 . 50 12 96 . 1 = 7.4.

Hence, we are fairly confident that these particular intervals will contain μ . 7.13. For this exercise, n = 32, _ x =11.7 and s = 2.1. The approximate 90% confidence interval for μ , the mean of the population of forecasts all economic forecasters, is 611 . 7 . 11 32 1 . 2 645 . 1 7 . 11 05 ....
