Abstract: 

Confidence interval estimation is a fundamental technique in statistical inference.<br><br>Margin of error is used to delimit the error in estimation. Dispelling misinterpretations<br><br>that teachers and students give to these terms is important. In this note, we give examples<br><br>of the confusion that can arise in regard to confidence interval estimation and margin of<br><br>error
