52% of Canadians agree Canadas Constitution should be changed to make Canada fully independent from Britain 43% disagree

OTTAWA Today, the new national educational foundation Your Canada, Your Constitution (YCYC) released the results of its recent national survey of 2,039 Canadians on the question of making Canada a fully independent country by retiring the British monarchy as the head of governments in Canada. The results show that a majority of Canadians (52%) want this change made, while 43% do not.

The YCYC survey asked 2,039 Canadians ages 18 or older whether they agreed or disagreed with changing Canadas Constitution to make Canada a fully independent country by retiring the British monarchy as head of Canadas federal and provincial governments.

Compared to the rest of Canada, many more people in Quebec (74%) support this change than do not (17%). Outside of Quebec, an average of 44% support this change, while 51% do not.

About the poll: The data was gathered between May 10th through May 20th, 2012 through Harris/Decimas teleVox, the companys national omnibus survey. Results are based on a sample of 2,039 Canadians, and the corresponding margin of error is 2.2%, 19 times out of 20.

1) In decimal form, what is the reported proportion of the Quebec population who favour abolishing/retiring the monarchy?

2). Using the data in the article, and a 95% level of confidence, calculate a confidence interval for the reported Quebec result for those who favour abolishing/retiring the monarchy. (You can assume that of the sample of 2039 people, 471 were in Quebec.)

What would be the upper bound of the confidence interval?

(You should answer in decimal form.)

3) And what is the lower bound for this confidence interval for the Quebec result?

4)In decimal form, what is the reported proportion of the population outside Quebec who favour abolishing/retiring the monarchy?

5) in decimal form, what is the reported proportion of the population outside Quebec who favour abolishing/retiring the monarchy?

6) Using the data in the article above, and a 95% level of confidence, calculate a confidence interval for the reported sample percentage of people outside Quebec who favour abolishing/retiring the monarchy. (You can assume that of the sample of 2039 people, 1568 were outside Quebec.)

What is the upper bound of this confidence interval?

7)And what is the lower bound of this confidence interval?

In your opinion, is there a significant difference between the opinions of people in Quebec and of people outside Quebec for abolishing the monarchy? Justify.
