You work for a local newspaper that recently reported on a bill that would make it easier to create charter schools in the state. You report to the editor that 201 letters have been received on the issue, of which 171 oppose the legislation. “I’m surprised that most of our readers oppose the bill. I thought it would be quite popular,” says the editor. Are you convinced that a majority of the readers oppose the bill? How would you explain the statistical issue to the editor?
