Polling Organizations – Polling agencies claim to provide accurate readings of the pulse of America. They sample the population and use a proportion to predict the population’s preferences or behaviors. For example, they may give the public a percentage of the population who are likely to vote for a particular candidate, or a company the probability that their customers may purchase a product.
Choose a polling organization and look up a current sampling situation.
Describe the poll and clearly provide the following:
the main polling question(s)
the sample size
the point-estimate
the margin of error
Discuss what inferences can be made about the population based on these results.
Explain the importance of this data and what you find interesting about the results.
Be sure to provide a reference to your poll!
