On February 8, 2002, the Gallup Organization released the results of a poll concerning American attitudes toward
Question:
a. Suppose we wish to use the poll's results to justify the claim that more than 30 percent of Americans (18 years or older) say that figure skating is their favorite Winter Olympic event. The poll actually found that 32 percent of respondents reported that figure skating was their favorite event.6 If, for the sake of argument, we assume that 30 percent of Americans (18 years or older) say figure skating is their favorite event (that is, p = .3), calculate the probability of observing a sample proportion of .32 or more; that is, calculate P( .32).
b. Based on the probability you computed in part a, would you conclude that more than 30 percent of Americans (18 years or older) say that figure skating is their favorite Winter Olympic event?
