Suppose a candy connoisseur opened a random bag of candy and found that 15 of the 62 candies were red. using this information, determine the margin of error that would be used to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all candies that are red. give the answer in decimal form precise to three decimal places.

E= 0.107

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the margin of error :

, where n= sample size .

p= sample proportion

z* = critical value.

Given : Sample size : n= 62

Number of red candies out of 62 =  15

Proportion of red candies =

We know that , the critical value for 95% confidence = z*= 1.96  [Using z-table]

Then,

Hence, the margin of error = E= 0.107
