Question: Gun safety. An October 2004 Gallup Poll asked a sample of 1012 adults whether they thought that having a gun in the house makes it a safer place to be or a more dangerous place to be. The number who thought having a gun in the house makes it a safer place was 425. Although the samples in national polls are not SRSs, they are similar enough that our method gives approximately correct confidence intervals
