A politician claims that a proposal for a new traffic law is broadly supported by both political parties and that a person from either political party is equally likely to support the proposed legislation. He cites two recent polls that said 70% of a random sample of 550 people from his political party supports the law, and 65% of a random sample of 420 people from the other political party supports the law. The 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in population proportions is (–0.010, 0.110). Based on the interval, is the politician’s claim justified?
