Camden read about a study in which 200 vegetarians were asked to sample a fruit bar. The study reported that 170 of the 200 vegetarians surveyed disliked the bar. The study had a margin of error of 4%. Which statement can be concluded from this report? A. It is likely that between 81% and 89% of vegetarians will dislike the fruit bar. B. It is likely that between 81% and 89% of people will dislike the fruit bar. C. Approximately 85% of people who like fruit will dislike the fruit bar. D. Approximately 85% of people surveyed do not like fruit.

minustempo:

so the margin of error is the max amount on both sides of the sample that the actual proportion could be

minustempo:

So the sample proportion is 170/200 = 0.85

minustempo:

so it'd be between 0.85-0.04 and 0.085+0.04

minustempo:

hope that helped!
