Chapter 17, Problem 80E
After polling a random sample of 800 voters during the most recent gubernatorial race, the Tasmania Gazette reports the following:
As the race for governor of Tasmania heads into its final days, our most recent poll shows Mrs. Butterworth ahead of the incumbent Mrs. Cubbison by 6 percentage points 53% to 47%. The results of the poll indicate with near certainty that if the election had been held at the time the poll was taken, Mrs. Butterworth would be the next governor of Tasmania.
a. Estimate the standard error for this poll.
b. Compute a 95% confidence interval for this poll.
c. Compute a 99.7% confidence interval for this poll.
