Discussion:
Q: A survey dating back to the 1990's suggested that Americans anticipated a reduction in living standards and that a steadily increasing consumption no longer might be as important as it was in the past. (Were they right?)
Suppose that a poll of 2000 people indicated 1373 in favor of forcing a reduction in the size of American automobiles by legislative means.
Would you expect to observe as many as 1373 in favor of this proposition if, in fact, the general public was split 50-50 on the issue? Justify your answer.
