A random sample of 1,496 respondents of a major metropolitan area was questioned about a number of issues. When asked to agree or disagree with the statement “Hand guns should be outlawed”, 650 respondents agreed. Researchers could thus construct a confidence interval for the proportion of the residents of this metropolitan area who support banning hand guns (use the 95% confidence level). Use this example to answer questions 19 to 23. 19. What’s the proportion of respondents in the sample...
