On the day before the 2016 Presidential election, the mean of 3 polls of 100 Wisconsin voters found Hillary Clinton ahead of Donald Trump by a margin of 5.6 percentage points. On Election Day, Trump actually won Wisconsin by a margin of 0.8 percentage points. Can you give possible reasons for this discrepancy? At least one reason should use a statistical formula or principle. c) What are 3 ways to show that the data for the estimate of a mean is approximately normally distributed? d) What condition(s) allow for a binomial distribution to be approximated by a normal distribution?
