Political pundits talk about the "bounce" that a presidential candidate gets after his party's convention. In the past 40 years, it has averaged about 6 percentage points. Just before a recent convention, a random poll of 1400 likely voters found that 48% favored a particular candidate. Just afterward, another random sample of 1400 likely voters found that 51% favored that candidate. That's a three percentage point increase, but the pollsters claimed that there was no bounce. Explain. Let population 1 correspond to likely voters that favored the candidate after the convention and population 2 correspond to likely voters that favored the candidate before the convention. Find and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the percentages of likely voters that favored the candidate (population 1- population 2). Select the correct answer below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice. (Use ascending order. Round to one decimal place as needed.) O A. Since the 95% confidence interval ( %. %) does not contain 0%, it is plausible that the bounce is zero. The pollsters should have instead claimed that there was no evidence of a bounce. O B. Since the 95% confidence interval %, %) contains 0%, it is plausible that the bounce is zero. The pollsters' claim that there was no bounce may be correct. O c. Since the 95% confidence interval ( %, %) does not contain 0%, it is not plausible that the bounce is zero. The pollsters should have instead claimed that there was sufficient evidence of a bounce.
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
