b. Suppose random samples of n = 60 are drawn from this population. Describe and draw the approximate sampling distribution for the proportion P^{^} who would favor stronger gun control laws.

c. Simulate 200 samples of size 60 from this population, and draw a histogram of the sample proportions who favor stronger gun control laws.

d. Compare your simulated distribution in part (c) with the sampling distribution that you described in part (b).
