A pollster wants to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who believe that economic conditions are getting better. Estimate the sample size needed if no estimate of p is available. A sample of adults is needed to obtain a 90% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.01 .

A pollster wants to construct an 80% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who believe that economic conditions are getting better. A.) A poll taken in July 2010 estimates this proportion to be 0.25. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.02? A sample of adults is needed to obtain an 80% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.02. B.) A sample of ________ adults is needed to obtain an 80% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.02.

A simple random sample of size $n$ is drawn. The sample mean, $\bar{x},$ is found to be 35.1 , and the sample standard deviation, $s,$ is found to be 8.7 (a) Construct a $90 \%$ confidence interval about $\mu$ if the sample size, $n,$ is 40 (b) Construct a $90 \%$ confidence interval about $\mu$ if the sample size, $n,$ is $100 .$ How does increasing the sample size affect the margin of error, $E ?$ (c) Construct a $98 \%$ confidence interval about $\mu$ if the sample size, $n,$ is $40 .$ Compare the results to those obtained in part (a). How does increasing the level of confidence affect the margin of error, $E ?$ (d) If the sample size is $n=18,$ what conditions must be satisfied to compute the confidence interval?
