The polls, statistically speaking by Dennis Hinkamp USU Consumer Information The phrase "ahead in the 00118" has been in the headlines quite frequently in recent weeks. It's even quite likely that you will be one of the people polled between now and election day. Although more noticeable in election years, phrases such as "studies indicate," "research shows" and "independent surveys prove" are becoming a regular part of advertising campaigns. Statistics often look impressive, but how do you know if they are any more reliable than the average celebrity spokesperson? This is a check list to help you evaluate numbers used in advertising and the news: Source: The Gallup and Harris polls are probably two of the best known. Both organizations are in the business of selling public opinion research so they favor no particular side of an issue. It is also in their best business interest to be accurate. These polls are quite different than polls conducted by manufacturers or supermarkets that have a built-in bias for their product. They are not likely to present any negative information in their findings. Margin of Error: No polling method is perfect, but for accuracy you should know how inaccurate it might be. Most professionally done research tries to keep possible error down to plus or minus five percent or less. So if 45 percent of the people prefer apples and 40 percent prefer oranges, the actual opinions of the people could be 40 to 50 percent in favor of apples and 35 to 45 percent in favor of oranges. This means that in reality people may actually prefer oranges over apples. The correct assessment of this poll would be that "it is too close to call." Timing: Opinions, especially in election years, change rapidly. It's important to look closely at the date during which the survey was conducted. Sample Size: How many people were questioned or products tested? In general, the larger the sample the more accurate the results. If the number is too small the margin of error will be too high to make the results meaningful. However, a well-designed well-designed study can accurately poll millions of people with a sample size of 500 or less. Wording: A reputable report of research will tell you how the questions are worded. For example, there is a subtle but important difference between asking "who would you vote for if the election was today" and "who are you going to vote for in November?" Representativeness: This is the stickiest issue. As a reader of polls, you have to decide if the people surveyed are really a cross section of the population? Readership surveys such as those done by Cosmopolitan magazine really only represent the opinions of readers of that magazine. Furthermore, this kind of survey relies on readers deciding to respond. So the sample really boils down to only Cosmopolitan magazine readers who have strong opinions and time on their hands. Similarly "person on the street" surveys often done by television stations are inaccurate. People coming out of a particular mall in Salt Lake City probably are not representative of the people living in Richfield.

But nearly half don't work. Without a working smoke detector as an early warning device, fire can spread unnoticed through the household, blocking escape routes and filling rooms with deadly smoke. Make sure you're protected. Start a lifesaving habit this October 25. When you change your clock from daylight-saving time, change the batteries in your smoke detectors.
