Question: Parade Magazine reported that "nearly 3200 readers dialed a 900 number to respond to a survey in our Jan. 8 cover story on America's young people and violence" (19 February 1995, p. 20). Of those responding, "63.3% say they have been victims or personally know a victim of violent crime." Can the results quoted and methods in this chapter legitimately be used to compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who fit that description? If so, compute the interval. If not, explain why not.
