Document Summary

Surveys are sometimes used to make and not measure opinion ex: human behavior conforms to group standards polls can set group standards. Response set: we answer in a particular way to look good to survey taker. How people select who gets polled: most important aspect, most ignored. Con: people wanna know answer, not the details. No: because scientists need details ex: galop is a good survey company. Lutz says surveys are a art, because of asking questions. Ex: sampling frame error: marijuana, when generation that opposed gets older they drop off voting opinion. The polls will flip, if you want to see people for legalization, sample young group. Confidence intervals: (margin of error) the likelihood that the right answer is within an interval-- ex: same thing as saying, there is a 4% chance the real number isn"t between these numbers. Sampling size: you do not need a percentage" of the population.
