When evaluating a survey, Jody saw that 54% of the respondents think that the minimum age of those awarded a driver's license should be raised, while 46% think it should remain the same. The margin of error was ±5%. Which statement is true?

The population proportion of those who think the driving age should be raised is definitely greater than the proportion who think it should remain the same.

Since the margin of error is 5%, the minimum of supporters will be less than the maximum of disapprovers.

So the third option will be correct. You cannot make certain conclusions based on this survey.
