If you have already missed two quizzes, recall that you have the opportunity to for extra credit by finding a poll that has a margin of error.  If you find a poll please bring it to me for approval and then hold on to it until we get to confidence intervals.  When we get to this part of the class I will ask you to write about the the poll.  Click on Statistics Links to find a list of online polling results.
