Some Americans believe that the entire 9/11 catastrophe was planned and executed by federal officials in order to provide the United States with a pretext for going to war in the Middle East and as a means of consolidating and extending the power of the then-current administration. This group of Americans is larger than you think. A Scripps-Howard poll of n = 1010 adults in August of 2006 found that 36% of American consider such a scenario very or somewhat likely! In a follow-up poll, a random sample of n = 100 adult Americans found that 26 of those sampled agreed that the conspiracy theory was either likely or somewhat likely. Does this sample contradict the reported 36% figure? Test at the α = .05 level of significance.
