tatistics Discussion Question
Visit the website pollingreport.com (Links to an external site.) or any other public opinion polling site and find a poll that interests you personally or professionally. Give the topic of the poll, the sample size, and margin of error. Explain what the margin of error means for this poll, based on the formula for the margin of error. Describe at least one confidence interval of the poll by providing its endpoints and interpret what it means in this example.
Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early, and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers and instructors posts, as well.
REMEMBER TO INCLUDE:
Do not leave out the confidence interval, though, or they give the upper and lower bound, but fail to interpret what it means. Be sure you’re answering all parts of the discussion prompt.
Think about how the sample size, the confidence level, and the margin of error are related. I know that many of your polls will not include the specific confidence level, but think about how your confidence level would change if the margin of error got larger. Would a larger margin of error indicate higher confidence or lower confidence?
