I just finished watching a quiz show called "The Power of Ten", which
follows "60 Minutes" on CBS. Hosted by Drew Carey, the show requires the
contestant to predict how a random sample of Americans answered a certain
question. The contestant's answer is given in terms of a range of
percentages, and the correct answer must fall within that percentage range
in order for the contestant to win.
A female contestant just lost at the $100,000 level. The question was,
"What percentage of Americans think that we should keep our troops in Iraq
and finish what we started?" What would you predict the correct answer
was? I'll supply the answer after a few people have hazarded a guess.
