An extensive survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, conducted in 2007, details views on religion in the United States. Based on interviews with a representative sample of more than 35,000 Americans age 18 and older, the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey found that religious affiliation in the United States is both diverse and dependent on a lot of factors. The table shows results of ANOVA for comparing feelings about the importance of religion in life and the subject€™s level of education (scale increasing with education: 3 = HS Graduate, 5 = Some College or Associate Degree, 6 = College Graduate, 7 = Post - Graduate Training). It appears that as educational level increases, the importance of religion in daily life decreases. Construct a 95% confidence interval to compare the population mean educational level for the Very Important and Not at All Important religious attitude groups. Interpret the interval.
