help!? Medical procedures A and B have success rates of 40% ± 2% and 40% ±5%, respectively. Which of the two procedures is riskier?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the one with the greater margin for error of course

OpenStudy (amistre64):

at worst; you have a 40-2 % chance of success for A at worst; you have a 40-5 % chance of success for B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

procedure B right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i believe its B yes.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but im having second thoughts ... the range of success is being stated; a bigger range of success is better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i know for a fact its not procedure A, because I got that one wrong, so it must be procedure B,

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol, that method works too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HAhaha yep!
