Refer to the data set of 2020 randomly selected presidents given below. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a​ 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the​ result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential​ candidates? Why or why​ not? PRESIDENT HEIGHT HEIGHT OPP Clinton 188 188 Carter 177 183 J. Q. Adams 171 191 Johnson 192 180 Jackson 185 171 F.
