Question

In January 2015, the Pew Research Center reported results from one of their surveys. "Asked about whether vaccines for childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and polio should be required or left up to parental choice, 68% of adults say such vaccines should be required while 30% say that parents should be able to decide whether or not to vaccinate their children. "
The following is an excerpt from the press release:
The survey of the general public was conducted using a probability-based sample of the adult population by landline and cellular telephone Aug. 15-25, 2014, with a representative sample of 2,002 adults nationwide. The margin of sampling error for results based on all adults is plus or minus 3. 1 percentage points. What is 95% confidence interval for these findings

Answer 1

Considering the margin of error, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of adults who say vaccines should be required is (64.9%, 71.1%).

What is a confidence interval?

It is given by the sample statistic plus/minus the margin of error.

In this problem, 68% of adults say such vaccines should be required, with a margin of error of 3.1%, hence:

68% - 3.1% = 64.9%.

68% + 3.1% = 71.1%.

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of adults who say vaccines should be required is (64.9%, 71.1%).
