Question:

Whether one views homosexual relations as wrong is closely related to whether one views homosexuality as a biological trait or the outcome of one's environment and/or socialization. Thus, it is not surprising that several religious groups that condemn homosexual relations have proclaimed their ability to "cure" gays of their sexual orientation. After all, their assumption is that homosexuality is not a trait that a person is born with. In 2010, GSS respondents (N - 930) were asked what they thought about homosexual relations. The data show that 50.2% believed that homosexual relations were always wrong, while 37.2% believed that homosexual relations were not wrong at all.
a. For each reported percentage, calculate the 95% confidence interval.
b. Approximately 13% of GSS respondents were in the middle, some saying that homosexual relations were almost always wrong or sometimes wrong. Calculate the 95% confidence interval.
c. What conclusions can you draw about the public's opinions of homosexual behavior based on your calculations?
