In a level-C confidence interval about the proportion p of some outcome in a given population, the margin of error, m, is o the maximum distance between the sample statistic and the population parameter in any random sample of the same size from that population. the minimum distance between the sample statistic and the population parameter in C% of random samples of the same size from that population. o the maximum distance between the sample statistic and the population parameter in C% of random samples of the same size from that population. O the minimum distance between the sample statistic and the population parameter in any random sample of the same size from that population.
