Answer:

9% - 19% is the estimated number of people liking the chocolate pie

Explanation:

The margin of error is an estimated number of percentage surrounding a guess. In a representative survey or a poll ( done in order to guess something about the whole population), there is always some uncertainty as only a limited number of people are asked to state their opinion.

The 14% in the above study is only an estimated number because only 2000 people were asked. Using a specific formula, the margin of error of plus minus 5% was established, it means that to be sure this poll is valid, one must add or subtract the 5%.

This john song, with stream of consciousness lyrics, has a world wildlife fund version featuring wildlife sound effects. It is Across the Universe.

"Across the Universe" is one of the few songs John is proud of. The Beatles and his fans around the world are stunned at Lennon's  incompetence to acknowledge his own genius, citing his rejection of his favorite song.

However, it is the critical self-assessment that has been proven to guide the artist to the perfection of his work. It's easy to say about John Lennon. John claimed that unconscious inspiration was the source of some of his songs, but his description of the inspiration for "Across the Universe" might sound divine .

Lennon said about Across the Universe in 1980: “The words are purely inspirational and were given to me – except for maybe one or two where I had to resolve a line or something like that”.

Nimfa-mama [501]
The question will not work as someone may lie that they are not a liar when they are. If they aren't a liar, they might not be believed if they say no.
Not sure about the second one though...
