Problem

The displayed estimates are \(A~=~51\%~\pm~4~\text{points}\) and \(B~=~48\%~\pm~4~\text{points}\). Compute \(\text{both}~\text{intervals}\), find their gap or overlap, and apply the stated informal rule without claiming a formal significance test.

Neutral interval-comparison scaffold for A = 51% ± 4 points and B = 48% ± 4 points; it withholds endpoint, overlap, and conclusion information.

A is [47%, 55%] and B is [44%, 52%]. They overlap from 47% to 52%, which establishes a formal p-value and statistically significant difference.

A is [47%, 55%] and B is [44%, 52%]. They overlap from 47% to 52%, so the informal rule suggests a difference; this is not a formal significance test.

Ignore the margins and use A = [51%, 51%] and B = [48%, 48%]. Their 3-point gap suggests a difference under the informal rule, but this is not a formal significance test.

A is [47%, 55%] and B is [44%, 52%]. They overlap from 47% to 52%, so the informal rule gives no clear difference; this is not a formal significance test.
