Question 574299: Explain what is wrong and why it is wrong.
The day before a big election, a pre-election survey showed that Candidate A got 52% and Candidate B got 48%. The margin of error is 3%. If nothing changes Candidate A will win Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the margin of error is 3%, then A could be as low as %
or as high as %
and, also
B could be as low as %
or as high as %
------------
So, it is possible that A is at 49% and B is at 51%,
so B could be winning if nothing changes
