Between 65% and 71% of U. S. adults oppose resident college tuition for the children of illegal immigrants

Step-by-step explanation:

Building a confidence interval from a sample, we can estimate to the entire population.

Sample of U. S adults:

Of the 1,012 U. S. adults in the sample, 68% were opposed with a margin of error of 3%.

Population:

68% - 3% = 65%

68% + 3% = 71%

Between 65% and 71% of U. S. adults oppose resident college tuition for the children of illegal immigrants
