The Ministry of Health in the Canadian province of Ontario wants to know whether the national health care system is achieving its goals in the province. Much information about health care comes from patient records, but that source does not allow to compare people who use health services with those who do not. So the Ministry of Health conducted the Ontario Health Survey, which interviewed a random sample of 61239 people who live in the province of Ontario. Estimate the margin of error for conclusions having 95% confidence about the entire adult population of Ontario. Give your answer to three decimal places.
