Chapter 5, Problem 5.79

(choose chapter or problem)

We dont like one-way streets Highway planners decided to make a main street in West Lafayette, Indiana, a one-way street. Th e Lafayette Journal and Courier took a one-day poll by inviting readers to call a telephone number to record their comments. Th e next day, the paper reported: Journal and Courier readers overwhelmingly prefer two-way traffi c fl ow in West Lafayettes Village area to one-way streets. By nearly a 7-1 margin, callers to the newspapers Express Yourself opinion line on Wednesday complained about the oneway streets that have been in place since May. Of the 98 comments received, all but 14 said no to one-way. (a) What population do you think the newspaper wants information about? (b) Is the proportion of this population who favor one-way streets almost certainly larger or smaller than the proportion 14/98 in the sample? Why?
