Answer: Martina's margin of error is 1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Average graduate student (upper limit) = 33
Random sample graduate student (lower limit) = 30
Formula to calculate margin of error is as follows.
Margin of error = [tex]\frac{upper limit - lower limit}{2}[/tex]
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]Margin of error = \frac{upper limit - lower limit}{2}\\= \frac{33 - 30}{2}\\= \frac{3}{2}\\= 1.5[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that Martina's margin of error is 1.5.
