In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%).



In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 37% with a margin of error of 2.5%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality.



. That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in<  and="" then="," the="" symbolic="" entry="" option="" will="" automatically="" convert="" that="" to  ≤="" .="" in="" the="" same="" way,="" if="" you="" type="" in  ="">  and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to  ≥.



Be sure to use decimal numbers in your answer (such as using 0.40 for 40%).
