Question

I hate story problems they r a nightmare.

One poll reported that 48% of city residents were against building a new stadium. The polling service stated that the poll was accurate to within 3%. What is the minimum percent of city residents that oppose the stadium?

Here are the choices

a)45%
b)46.5%
c)48%
d)49%

Answer 1

a) within implies + or - 3, so I believe 48-3 or 48+3,would be 45-51% range, but they want the minimum, so 45% is final answer

Answer 2
