Question

Measure L is a bond measure for Cuesta College that needed to be voted on in a regular election. This measure
passes if San Luis Obispo residents approve the measure with more than 55% of the popular vote. We want to
know whether Measure L would pass in the next election with more than 55% of the popular vote. We’re
planning to randomly survey San Luis Obispo voters to determine if Measure L will pass.
a. Describe the population in words.

b. Describe the parameter in words.

Write the hypotheses in symbols to test the hypothesis that Measure L will pass. d. (3 pts) We survey some voters at random, and find that 56% of them plan on voting to pass Measure L. We find a 95% confidence interval to be 56% with a margin of error of 3%. Based on the confidence interval, what would the outcome of this test be (reject/don’t reject/accept, etc)? Explain.
