Question:

A Gallup poll found that 59% of the people in its sample said “Yes” when asked, “Would you like to lose weight?” Gallup announced: “For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the margin of (sampling) error is ±3 percentage points.” Based on the confidence interval, is there convincing evidence that the true proportion of U.S. adults who would say they want to lose weight differs from 0.55? Explain your reasoning.
