Problem
For the next question(s), assume a simple random sample has been taken, the population standard deviation is known, and the population is normally distributed. According to a sample of 200 various insurance brokers and health experts, a typical childbirth in the United States costs a mean of $9500. Assume we know from a previous study, the standard deviation of the cost of the births is $2500. Use a 98% confidence level.
Find the margin of error E that corresponds to the above statistics and confidence level.
