Solution

The margin of error is 5%, which means the true population response could be 5% more or 5% less than the survey results.

  1. Start with the survey result, which is 80%.
  2. Subtract the margin of error from the survey result: 80% - 5% = 75%. This is the lower end of the range.
  3. Add the margin of error to the survey result: 80% + 5% = 85%. This is the upper end of the range.

So, based on the margin of error, the range that reflects the population's true response is 75% to 85%.
