A polling company split a random sample in half and asked 477 respondents the question generally speaking, do you believe the death is applied fairly or unfairly in this country today? The pollesters asked the other 477 respondents the question, generally speaking do you believe the death penalty is applied unfairly or fairly in this country today? This seems like the same question but sometimes the order of the choices matter. Of those asked the first question, 52% said they thought the death penalty was fairly applied. Of those asked the second question 63% said the same thing.
If one combines the 2 groups considering the overall group to be 1 random sample of 954 respondents what is a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the general public that thinks the death penalty is being fairly applied?
(_______,__________)
