Statement B is correct.

What is the percentage?

A percentage can be defined as a number that is expressed in fractions of 100. The percentage is denoted by the sign "%".

Given that the total number of actual voters is 15,000 for Candidate A. A poll has a percent error of 4%.

The error can be calculated as given below.

[tex]E = 15000 \times \dfrac {4}{100}[/tex]

[tex]E = 600[/tex]

The poll has an error of 600 votes.

The total number of votes A including errors are given as,

[tex]A = 15000 + E\\A = 15000 + 600\\A = 15600[/tex]

Or

[tex]A = 15000 -E\\A = 15000-600\\A = 14400[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the total number of votes including the error shown by the poll is 15600 or 14400. Statement B is correct.
