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? Jefferson 189 170 Hoover 182 180 Harding 183 178 Coolidge 178 180 Polk 173 185 McKinley 170 178 Taft 182 178 J. Kennedy 183 182 T. Roosevelt 178 175 Wilson 180 182 G. W.

If greater height was an advantage. then taller candidates should have won ___________ 50% of the elections. In this case, greater height ______________ to be an advantage for presidential candidates because the confidence interval ___________ include 50%.
