When dealing with confidence intervals for proportions, the formula is
p^ +/- Zcritical(standard deviation)
Where p^ = r/n, r is the number of observations and n is the sample size
For a 95% confidence interval, Zcritical = 1.96
The standard deviation is square root[(p^)(1 - p^)/n]
The margin of error, denoted at E = Zcritical(standard deviation)
