Q. Nate predicted that voter turnout for the next citywide election will be 23%23\%, with a margin of error of 3%3\%. Which of the following represents the plausible range of voter turnout based on Nate's prediction and margin of error?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Between 20%20\% and 26%26\%\newline(B) Between 21.5%21.5\% and 24.5%24.5\%\newline(C) Between 23%23\% and 26%26\%\newline(D) Between 23%23\% and 29%29\%
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineNate predicted a voter turnout of 23%23\% with a margin of error of 3%3\%. The margin of error means that the actual turnout could be 3%3\% higher or lower than the predicted 23%23\%.
  2. Calculate lower limit: Calculate the lower limit of the range.\newlineTo find the lower limit, subtract the margin of error from the predicted percentage.\newlineLower limit =Predicted percentageMargin of error= \text{Predicted percentage} - \text{Margin of error}\newlineLower limit =23%3%= 23\% - 3\%\newlineLower limit =20%= 20\%
  3. Calculate upper limit: Calculate the upper limit of the range.\newlineTo find the upper limit, add the margin of error to the predicted percentage.\newlineUpper limit = Predicted percentage + Margin of error\newlineUpper limit = 23%+3%23\% + 3\%\newlineUpper limit = 26%26\%
  4. Define the range: Combine the lower and upper limits to define the range.\newlineThe plausible range of voter turnout is between the lower limit and the upper limit.\newlineRange = Between 20%20\% and 26%26\%
