Question

in a Gallup youth survey done in 2000, 501 randomly selected American teenagers were asked how well they get along with their parents. A survey result was that of 270 teenagers said they get along "very well" with their parents. Use this to estimate the proportion who would say they got along "very well" with their parents, including a margin of error. ​

Answer 1

The margin of error would be 1 / √n, where n is the number of students asked.

Margin of error = 1/√501 = 0.0446

Multiply by 100 to change to a percent:

0.446 x 100 = 4.46%

Rounding may be off slighly, so it looks like b would be the correct answer.
