Practise until it sticks

Choose a topic, a skill or a difficulty. Calculation exercises have new versions with fresh numbers once you have solved them, so you can practise the method rather than memorise an answer.

Practice, difficulty 2 of 3

Bigger sample, smaller margin

Not started

A customer survey of 300 people has a margin of error of ±4.8 percentage points. The marketing director wants a more precise estimate and increases the sample to 2,700 people (9 times as many), with the same method and a similar proportion. What will the margin of error be, approximately? Give 2 decimal places.
