A city ballot includes a local initiative that would legalize gambling. The issue is hotly contested, and two groups decide to conduct polls to predict the outcome. The local
newspaper finds that 56% of 250 randomly selected voters plan to vote "yes," while a college Statistics class finds 55% of 1000 randomly selected voters in support. Both
groups will create 99% confidence intervals. Assume that all voters know how they intend to vote and that the initiative requires a majority vote to pass. Complete parts a
through c below.
