Explain it to the congresswoman You are on the staff of a member of Congress who is considering a bill that would provide government-sponsored insurance for nursing-home care. You report that 1128 letters have been received on the issue, of which 81 appose the legislation. Tim surprised that most of my constituents oppose the bill. I thought it would be quite popular, says the congresswoman. Are you convinced that a majority of the voters oppose the bill? How would you explain the statistical issue to the congresswoman?
