Refer to the accompanying data set of 20 randomly selected presidents. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Click the icon to view the table of heights. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents.
