Question:

In an online poll conducted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch during September 2014, people were asked about their favorite sports to watch on television. Of the respondents, 42% selected baseball, 18% mentioned hockey, 36% liked football, and 4% selected basketball (www.stltoday.com). Using these results, find a 98% confidence interval for the population percentage that corresponds to each response. Write a one-page report to present your results to a group of college students who have not taken statistics. Your report should answer questions such as the following: (1) What is a confidence interval? (2) Why is a range of values (interval) more informative than a single percentage (point estimate)? (3) What does 98% confidence mean in this context? (4) What assumptions, if any, are you making when you construct each confidence interval?
