Question: Recent high-profile legal cases have many people reevaluating the jury system. Many believe that juries in criminal trials should be able to convict on less than a majority vote. To assess support for this idea, investigators asked each individual in a random sample of Californians whether they favored allowing conviction by at 10-2 verdict in criminal cases not involving the death penalty. The Associated Press (San Luis Obispo Telegram-Tribune, Sept. 13, 1995) reported that 71% supported the 10-2 verdict. Suppose that the sample size for this survey was n=900. Compute and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of Californians who favor the 10-2 verdict.
