A media personality argues that global temperatures are not rising, because every year an increase is reported, such as 0.09 degrees C. The difference from the previous year is less than the margin of error of about 0.13 degrees C, so that difference should be ignored. What is the best counterargument?


The difference is only 0.04, but that is still a significant change.


The margin of error is quite small compared to the change year over year, so it is a significant issue.


The change of 0.09 is not a lot and thus should be ignored.


The margin of error is larger than the increase, so we should consider it an issue of just extra information and thus can be ignored.

Sagot :

The correct option would be The margin of error is quite small compared to the change year over year, so it is a significant issue option third is correct.

What is the margin of error(MOE)?

It is defined as an error that provides an estimate of the percentage of errors in real statistical data.

The formula for finding the MOE:

[tex]\rm MOE = Z\times \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Where   Z is the z-score at the confidence interval

            s is the standard deviation

            n is the number of samples.

We have:

A media personality argues that global temperatures are not rising, because every year an increase is reported, such as 0.09 degrees C.

As the value of MOE is 0.13 degrees

It is a serious problem because the margin of error is quite narrow in comparison to the shift from year to year.

Thus, the correct option would be The margin of error is quite small compared to the change year over year, so it is a significant issue option third is correct.
