Concept explainers
To explain what can the city council conclude about the public support for the mayor’s initiative.
Answer to Problem 20E
It conclude nothing.
Explanation of Solution
It is given in the question that the mayor of a small city has suggested that the state locate a new prison there, arguing that the construction project and resulting jobs will be good for the local economy. Thus, the city council cannot conclude anything about the public support for the mayor’s initiative because those who showed up for the meeting are probably a biased group. In addition, a show-of-hands vote may influence people, making the votes non-independent.
