- A foundation asked each person in a representative sample of high school students and in a representative sample of high school teachers which of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment they thought was the most important. Suppose that the sample size for each sample was 1,000. Data consistent with summary values from the study are summarized in the accompanying table.

- 3. A national retailer has completed an internal survey on its social media strategy.

Lie Detector The table below includes results from polygraph (lie detector) experiments conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts (Boise State University) and Gordon H. Barland (Department of Defense Polygraph Institute). In each case, it was known if the subject lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph test was correct.
