Temple University Face Value Poll Percentage Discussion

I’m working on a business question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Here is the discussion post:

Taking a poll percentage at face value can be dangerous because polls can be skewed and data interpreted to benefit the polling party. The first step should be to question the poll’s methodology and how the candidate received 54 percent with a 3 percent margin of error. Other details must be disclosed, such as the number of samples involved, the sampling techniques used, and whether the samples are related or unrelated (Scientific American, 2004). Another valid question that needs to be addressed is the poll’s time frame. A level of significance needs to be understood The type 1 error, or the false rejection of a true null hypothesis, is accounted for by the level of significance.
