A recent biological study performed on a large random sample of North American
birds found that \(46 \%\) of birds' nests experienced full or partial nest
predation, in which some type of predator raided the nest before the
hatchlings had flown off. The margin of error for the study was \(3 \%\). Which
of the following is the best interpretation of the margin of error for this
study?
A) The percentage of North American birds whose nests get raided by predators
is likely somewhere between \(43 \%\) and \(49 \%\).
B) There is a \(3 \%\) chance that the study's finding about nest predation for
North American birds is incorrect.
C) It is unlikely that fewer than \(43 \%\) of birds' nests will get raided this
coming year.
D) The research indicates that no more than \(49 \%\) of birds' nests will
likely get raided by predators.
