A TV report conducted a survey of 978 people in New York City and found that 38% of the population believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year. In the accompanying dialogue, the reporter states, we are 92% confident that the true proportion of people in New York City who believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year lies between 34% and 42%. What does 92% represent in the report? 1) a confidence level 2) a confidence interval 3) a margin of error 4) a statistic 5) a parameter

What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?
A poll asked the question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" Twenty-two percent of the respondents answered "crime and violence." The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points. Following the convention that the margin of error is based on a 95% confidence interval, find a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters. lower limit % upper limit %
A poll asked the question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" Twenty-five percent of the respondents answered "crime and violence."
