17. POLLING A poll taken at a school states that 57% of students support extending
lunch by 5 minutes. The margin of error is within 3%. Write an absolute value
inequality to represent the possible percent of students p who support
extending lunch.
18. CEREAL A company claims that its boxes of cereal contain 19.1 ounces of
cereal. The actual amount of cereal in the box can be within 0.5 ounce of the
advertised amount. What is the range of possible amounts of cereal c in a box?
19. SCALE A bathroom scale is accurate within 0.4 pound. Write an absolute value
inequality that represents the possible actual weight w of someone for whom
the scale reads 154.2 pounds.
