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?

Refer to the data set of 2020 randomly selected presidents given below. 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? PRESIDENT HEIGHT HEIGHT OPP Jackson 185 171 Polk 173 185 Taft 182 178 Johnson 192 180 Pierce 178 196 J. Kennedy 183 182 Garfield 183 187 F.

Refer to the data set of 20 randomly selected presidents given below. 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? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents. If greater height was an advantage, then taller candidates should have won (more than,less than,exactly) 50% of the elections. In this case, greater height (appears,does not appear) to be an advantage for presidential candidates because the confidence interval (does,does not) include 50%.
A clothing designer creates a unisex outfit and wants to be 95% certain that it’ll fit both men and women; it was designed to fit an individual of 65 inches height. An assistant gathers the heights of random men and women walking down the street (see the attached data). Using the data, determine if the outfit will fit both men and women with 95% confidence. Need a hypothesis test included.
