Overview

Chapter 8 emphasizes the need for legitimate studies to prominently publish confidence intervals, sample size, numerical sampling error, and levels of confidence. This discussion will require that students find an example in the media that prominently displays the metrics required for a legitimate study.

Instructions

Please find and post to this discussion a media example containing at least two of the four: confidence intervals, sample size, numerical sampling error, and levels of confidence. (Note by "media," your instructor means both print and online sources, however, do not use educational examples or problems. Pew Research, US Census Bureau, Gallup, medical journals, etc. are good sources to try.) Students are required to include a working link to the news article.

In your original post, please state the specific values of the metrics you found in your chosen article. Also, describe how these metrics are used or their meaning in the context of the article.
