Question

Two owners of a cattle ranch, Robert and Val, want to find the average weight for the ranch’s 200 cows. Instead of weighing all of the cows:
1. Robert weighs 25 cows and gets an average weight of 1,550 pounds (stdev = 50)
2. Val weighs 100 cows and gets an average weight of 1,380 pounds (stdev = 50)

Answer 1

The margin of error will be 20 and 10 respectively.

How to calculate the margin of error?

The margin of error for Robert will be:

= 1.96 × 50/✓25

= 1.96 × (50/5)

= 1.96 × 10

= 20 approximately

The margin of error for Val will be:

= 1.96 × 50/✓100

= 1.96 × 50/10

= 1.96 × 5

= 10 approximately
