A survey conducted in a certain town found that 1 out of every 5 individuals owned a bike. A statistician calculated the margin of error to be 1.5%. The maximum percentage of individuals who own a bike is ?

Question

1 out of every 5 means $$\frac{1}{5}=0.2. $$

This means 0.2*100=20 percent.

So 20% can be 1.5% less or 1.5% more

We need the maximum percentage so basically we take 20+1.5

now add that and get your answer :)
