The margin of error would tell how many percentage differs from  Harris County's sample

The range of reasonable means for Harris County's sample is 77.7 to 82.3

How to determine the range?

The given parameters are:

  • Population mean, [tex]\mu = 76[/tex]
  • Population standard deviation, [tex]\sigma = 11[/tex]
  • Sample mean, [tex]\bar x = 80[/tex]
  • Margin of error , [tex]E = 2.3[/tex]

The range (R) is calculated as:

[tex]R = \bar x \pm E[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]R = 80 \pm 2.3[/tex]

Expand

[tex]R = (80 - 2.3,80 + 2.3)[/tex]

Evaluate the difference and sum

[tex]R = (77.7,82.3)[/tex]

Hence, the range of reasonable means for Harris County's sample is 77.7 to 82.3
