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%.

Which of the confederate states were west of the mississippi river​
dimulka [17.4K]
The Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War consists of the major military operations west of the Mississippi River. The area is often thought of as excluding the states and territories bordering the Pacific Ocean, which formed the Pacific Coast Theater of the American Civil War (1861–1865).


Map of Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War, featuring only the major battles
The campaign classification established by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior[1] is more fine-grained than the one used in this article. Some minor NPS campaigns have been omitted and some have been combined into larger categories. Only a few of the 75 major battles the NPS classifies for this theater are described. Boxed text in the right margin show the NPS campaigns associated with each section.

Activity in this theater in 1861 was dominated largely by the dispute over the status of the border state of Missouri. The Missouri State Guard, allied with the Confederacy, won important victories at the Battle of Wilson's Creek and the First Battle of Lexington. However, they were driven back at the First Battle of Springfield. A Union army under Samuel Ryan Curtis defeated the Confederate forces at the Battle of Pea Ridge in northwest Arkansas in March 1862, solidifying Union control over most of Missouri. The areas of Missouri, Kansas, and the Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma) were marked by extensive guerrilla activity throughout the rest of the war, the most well-known incident being the infamous Lawrence massacre in the Unionist town of Lawrence, Kansas of August 1863.
