Correct me if I'm wrong - I'm pretty new to this game. Does this entail that you'd assign about a 50% probability that either 0%-25% or 95%+ of the people would say that?
That's an implication, yes.
So, based on those numbers, you think it's more likely that either 0%-25% or 95%+ of the people would say that, than that 35%-85% would say that? (assuming nonzero probability to 25%-35% or 85%-95%)
Based on those number, yes. But I didn't consider both sides like that. I may have erred in overcompensating for the tendency of people to make too-small confidence intervals.
Ah, good. I was afraid I'd misunderstood.
