Calculation of Margin of Error:
Results:
Against revealing male swimwear (such as Speedos): 29 votes
No Rule: 34 votes
For revealing male swimwear (such as Speedos): 33 votes
Comparing the ‘for’ and ‘against’ votes:
Against: 29 votes±12.4% = 29 votes±3.6 votes = a range of 25.4 to 32.6
For: 33 votes±12.4% = 33 votes±4.1 votes = a range of 28.9 to 37.1
Because the two ranges overlap, the resulting vote cannot be considered statistically significant at the generally accepted 95% (i.e. 19 times out of 20) confidence level.
Discussion of Results for Proposition 10 : Speedos:
This proposition was intended to address revealing swimwear, for example, the brand name: ‘Speedos’, but I addressed the general case without mentioning the particular brand name.
