A random sample of 1001 University of California faculty members taken in December 1995 was asked, "Do you favor or oppose using race, religion, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin as a criterion for admission to the University of California?" (Roper Center, 1996). Fifty-two percent responded "favor."
a. What is the population for this survey?
b. What is the approximate margin of error for the survey?
c. Based on the results of the survey, could it be concluded that a majority (over 50%) of all University of California faculty members favor using these criteria? Explain.
