In a survey of 1002 people, 701 (which is 70%) said that they voted in the most recent presidentia l election (based on data from ICR Research Group). The margin of error for the survey was 3 percentage points. However, actual voting records show that only 61% of all eligible voters actually did vote. Does this necessarily imply

Respuesta :

Based on the percentage of people who actually voted and the margin of error, the data implies that people lied when responding to the survey.

What is the evidence that people lied?

The evidence that people lied about voting would bet be shown by the confidence interval. If the confidence interval of the survey does not have the actual percentage of people who voted in it, then people lied.

The confidence interval is:

= Average ± Margin of error

Solving:

= 70% + 3%

= 73%

= 70% - 3%

= 67%

Confidence interval is:

67% - 73%

The actual percentage of 61% who voted is not in this interval which means that some people lied about voting in the survey.
