Simora [160]3 years ago

Explanation:

It is the same reason that the distance by road is not the same as the distance "as the crow flies." The two vectors are often not aligned so that the magnitudes both add to directly to the distance from the origin (or the tail of the first vector).

For example, suppose you walk two segments of 1 mile each. If you walk east in both cases, you end up 2 miles east of where you started. (The sum of the vectors is the sum of their magnitudes.)

If you walk east 1 mile and north 1 mile, you end up about 1.4 miles from where you started, not 2 miles. The second "vector" did not add directly to the distance from your starting point.

If you walk east 1 mile, then west 1 mile, you end up exactly where you started. The sum of the vectors is zero, but the sum of their magnitudes is still 2 miles.

A suvery shows that 55℅​
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: No. The intervals defined by the margin or error overlap

Step-by-step explanation:

If we think about it, with the worst margins, 55% could be 48% and then the 45% would be 52%, showing there is no clear yes or no and it is possible that the intervals could overlap
