Answer 1

Answer: A. 22%-24%

Step-by-step explanation: There's a +2% error range, so you just add 2% to the existing percentage to get your range of 22% (the original percentage) through 24% (the percentage you get after adding 2%)

Answer 2

D) 20%-24%

Explanation:

The margin of error is ±2%, which means that the true proportion it can be 2% above the average proportion or 2% below the average proportion. Therefore, the percentage of students that might actually ride their bikes to school is 20%-24%.
