Answer:

A. Yes, the two corresponding confidence intervals overlap.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is - A. Yes, the two corresponding confidence intervals overlap.

Reason -

P(1) = 45% = 0.45

E(1) = 4.6% = 0.046

Confidence Interval = P(1) ± E(1)

                                 = 0.45 ± 0.046

So, the interval is -

0.45 + 0.046 ≤ P ≤ 0.45 - 0.046

⇒0.496 ≤ P ≤ 0.404                       .............(1)

Now,

P(2) = 42% = 0.42

E(2) = 3.6 % = 0.036

Confidence Interval = P(2) ± E(2)

                                 = 0.42 ± 0.036

So, the interval is -

0.42 + 0.036 ≤ P ≤ 0.42 - 0.036

⇒0.456 ≤ P ≤ 0.384                    ...............(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get

The two corresponding confidence intervals overlap.
