A large national women's retail store uses ink tags to help

A large national women's retail store uses ink tags to help prevent shoplifting. The tag is fastened to clothing items, and if it is not removed with the correct device, it will "explode" and put a large ink stain on the clothing. It will also set off an alarm if taken out of the store. Five stores are selected at random to see if clerks are remembering to take the tags off before shoppers who have paid for clothing leave the store. It is determined that 48 out of 80 shoppers have an alarm go off even after having paid for their merchandise. (a) Determine whether the following statement is true or false. This sample size is large enough to find a margin of error. True False off even after having paid for their merchandise?
