About this unit
If a poll from one location shows 55% of voters support a measure, but a poll from another location shows 45% support, does that mean there is a difference between the two populations? We can make a confidence interval to estimate the difference, or do a significance test to see if the difference is significant. We'll use similar methods to compare the means of two groups.AP® is a registered trademark of the College Board, which has not reviewed this resource.
