Since the margin of error is 3%, we can use this to create a range of values within which the true proportion of college students planning to vote likely falls. To obtain the highest possible estimate of the lowest turnout rate among college students, we would subtract the margin of error from the point estimate of 54%: 54% - 3% = 51%. Therefore, the candidates should expect the lowest turnout rate among college students to be at least 51%.
