Calculation of Margin of Error:
Comparing ‘No change in Family Life’ vs. ‘Diminished Family Life’:
No change in Family Life: 46 votes
Diminished Family Life: 64 votes
n=110
Using the formula: Margin of Error= ±9.3%
Diminished Family Life: 64 votes±9.3%=64 votes ±6 votes = a range of 58 to 70
No change: 46 votes±9.3%=46 votes±4.3 = a range of 41.7 to 50.3
Since the two ranges do not overlap, the majority vote is statistically significant at the 95% confidence level, therefore a vote of the general Community would produce the same majority nineteen times out of twenty.
