In Topeka, Kansas, in 2005, Reverend Fred Phelps "failed in his effort to repeal an antidiscrimination ordinance in an election."8 Final results showed 14,285 of all voters (53%) opposing the repeal.
a. If repeated random samples of a certain size were taken from all the Topeka voters, what would be the mean of all the sample proportions of voters opposing the repeal?
b. Keep in mind that statistical inference uses information from a sample to draw a conclusion about the larger population. Explain why it would be inappropriate to use the data to set up a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all Topeka voters in that election who opposed the repeal.
c. Should 0.53 be denoted p or ?
