As a pollster, you randomly called 725 voters to know their positions on a California State’s ballot proposition. Only 80% of the voters agreed to answer your questions. Of those who answered you, 264 voters favored the proposition.   

(a)[2] Explain why this situation should not be considered as the finite population case.

(b)[2] Check if the sampling distribution of the sample proportion can be approximately Normal.

(c)[3] Construct the 92% CI for the favor proportion π. Sketch the CI. State if π can be 0.50.

(d)[3] Construct the 96% CI for the favor proportion π. Sketch the CI. State if π can be 0.45. Hint: Use 5 decimal places. Use some Excel lookups for values and probabilities.
