Question

telephone poll administered by a computer randomly generating numbers to call, found that 68% of Americans in the sample of 2000 were in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana use. Thus, almost 70% of Americans favor legalizing recreation marijuana use.

Answer 1

The method that was used to arrive at the approximate population probability is called; a reasonable statistical generalization

What is statistics generalization?

Statistical generalization is a concept that involves inferring the results from a sample and applying it to a population. Carrying out this means that the sample must be selected randomly and be representative of the population.

Now, in this case, we see that the sample gave a probability of 68% to represent those were in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana use.

Now, since the conclusion was approximated to 70% to reflect the probability of the population then we can say that a reasonable statistical generalization was utilized.
