Determining right interpretation for margin of error

Reference no: EM1395715

Based on a simple random sample of one hundred an analyst estimates the average hourly wage earned by workers in a city to be $30 and computes the margin of error to be $5. Can we conclude from this that most workers there earn between $25 and $35 per hour? Is this the right interpretation for the margin of error?
