A. 89%
B. 79%
C. 59%
D. 99%

Answer 1

Answer:

So the possible answer would be 59%

Step-by-step explanation:

A study estimated that 64% of the residents of a town (with an error range of +-12 percentage points at 95% confidence)  

In this question study gives a range 64 + or -12 it means they are not sure about answer but they estimated answer choice between 52 to 76

(64 - 12= 52 to 64 + 12 = 76).

I would figure out the lowest estimate and the highest estimate. and the answer would be between the two numbers.

In the choices there is only one number between 52 and 76. So the possible answer would be 59%.
