A poll investigating the level of public support for proposed gun control legislation reported that 66 of the respondents were in favor. The pollsters reported a sampling error of 2.
 
  When the responses were broken down by gender, support was 3 higher among women than men. The pollsters said the margin of error for this difference was 3. Why is the margin of error larger for the difference in support between the genders than for the overall level of support?

Question 2

According to government data, the probability than an adult never had the flu is 19. You randomly select 70 adults and ask if he or she ever had the flu.
 
  Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, If so, find the mean and standard deviation, If not, explain why. Round to the nearest hundredth when necessary.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
