Find another classmate’s initial post and write down the margin of error that they calculated. You will use that value in another context. As another election cycle begins this fall, you will likely hear newscasters state poll data and then mention the margin of error. For example: "Polls show that among likely voters in the Make-Believetown Governor’s race, Bad Wolf is currently leading with 43% of expected votes, Little Pig has 41%, and 16% are undecided. The poll has a margin of error of 4%.” Instead of the 4% margin of error currently in the example, use the margin of error from your classmate as the new margin of error% for the poll. Write a brief paragraph explaining who you believe will be the next imaginary governor of Make Believetown and why. Use the information you know about the margin of error to make your case. My new margin of error for classmates is 10.08408.

Español Among college students, the proportion p who say they're interested in their congressional district's election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist daims that the proportion of college students who say they're interested in their district's election results is more than 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 173 out of a random sample of 260 college students say they're interested in their district's election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H1. H, :0 H :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) D=0 OSO (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) ロ=ロ O
