Lecture 2
You poll 1000 U.S. voters and ask them if they will vote Democrat or Republican in the upcoming national election. Your results show that 51% (+/- 0.5%) would vote Democrat. Answer the following question, and explain your reasoning.
What is your statistical inference?
Statistical inference is the conclusion you make based upon your results. Since the majority of people said they would vote Democrat and the level of uncertainty is not high enough to change this, your statistical inference would be that Democrats will win the upcoming election.
