Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion voting for him in the exit poll, and find and interpret its standard error. If 50% of the population voted for DeWine, would it have been surprising to obtain the results in this exit poll? Why? Based on your answer in (b), would you be willing to predict the outcome of this election? Explain.
