Answer:

Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the poll has a +/- 3% margin of error, the minimum and maximum possible percentages for each candidate are:

(44% - 3%) ≤ Jones ≤ (44% + 3%)

41% ≤ Jones ≤ 47%

(54% - 3%) ≤ Smith ≤ (54% + 3%)

51% ≤ Smith ≤ 57%

This means that, even in the worst possible scenario for Congressman Smith, he would still beat Jones with 51% against 47% of the votes. The pollster can safely predict that Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones .
