Question:
47. Politics. A poll of 1005 U.S. adults split the sample into four age groups: ages 18–29, 30–49, 50–64, and 65 .
In the youngest age group, 62% said that they thought the U.S. was ready for a woman president, as opposed to 35%
who said “no, the country was not ready” (3% were undecided).
The sample included 250 18- to 29-year-olds.
a) Do you expect the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all 18- to 29-year-olds who think the U.S. is ready for a woman president to be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all U.S. adults? Explain.
b) Find the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all 18- to 29-year-olds who believe the U.S. is ready for a woman president.
