The results of two random samples of votes for a proposition are shown above. The samples were selected from the same population, and the margins of error were calculated using the same method. Which of the following is the most appropriate reason that the margin of error for sample A is greater than the margin of error for sample B?

Margin of error is the _____ amount that the sample results are expected to differ from those of the actual population.

A survey was given to a random sample of voters in the United States to ask about their preference for a presidential candidate. The percentage of people who said they preferred Candidate A was 24%.
