Express the confidence interval 743.8 < μ < 794.6 in the form of ¯ x ± M E . ¯ x ± M E = ±
Confidence interval in terms of sample mean 
 and margin of error E is expressed as
- E < 
 <  
+ E
Comparing this confidence interval with 743.8 < 
 < 794.6 , we get,
- E = 743.8 and 
 + E = 794.6
Adding these two equations
2 
 = 743.8 + 794.6
= 769.2
Put this value of 
 in equation 
 + E = 794.6, and solve for E
769.2 + E = 794.6
E = 25.4

E = 769.2 
 25.4
