Answer: B

The margin of error is equal to 20

[tex]M\mathrm{}E=20[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that the 80% confidence interval is found to be;

[tex](200,240)[/tex]

The width of the interval is;

[tex]240-200=40[/tex]

The margin of error is always half the width, so the margin of error is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} M\mathrm{}E=\frac{40}{2} \\ M\mathrm{}E=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the margin of error is equal to 20
