A city ballot includes a local initiative that would legalize gambling. The issue is hotly contested, and two groups decide to conduct polls to predict the outcome. Thelocal newspaper finds that 53% of 1600 randomly selected voters plan to vote "yes," while a college Statistics class finds 54% of 250 randomly selected voters insupport. Both groups will create 95% confidence intervals. Assume that all voters know how they intend to vote and that the initiative requires a majority vote topass. Complete parts a through c below.a) Without finding the confidence intervals, explain which one will have the larger margin of error.V will have the larger margin of error, at least mainly becauseb) Find both confidence intervals.The confidence interval for the local newspaper is ( %. %)(Round to one decimal place as needed.)The confidence interval for the college Statistics class (%, %).(Round to one decimal place as needed.)c) Which group concludes that the outcome is too close to call? Why?V that the outcome is too close to call, since the interval(s) obtained by this/these group(s)

A member of the Lottery Commission requests a 90% confidence interval estimate but with a smaller margin of error. How can we get a smaller margin of error using 90% confidence? A) Take a smaller sample because smaller samples result in smaller margins of error. B) Take a larger sample because larger samples result in smaller margins of error. C) Take another sample of the same size because you might get lucky and get a smaller margin of error. D) Take a sample of the same size from the adults in Ohio instead of the entire country. Then the population will be smaller and this will give a smaller margin of error.
