  • a) What is the point estimate of the population?
  • 2.2 For this situation suppose that only 49% of the registered voters in the sample favor the candidate over her strongest opponent. Given this result:
  • a. If the campaign managers claim is correct, what is the probability that the sample proportion would be no more than 0.49 for a sample of this size
  • b. Based on your answer to part (a), speculate on which type of error is made by the campaign managers claim?
