A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. If the dean wanted to estimate the proportion of all students receiving financial aid to within 2% with 95% reliability, how many students would need to be sampled? 1 562 2 47 3 1186 4 2324

Rather than examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. If the dean wanted to estimate the proportion of all students receiving financial aid to within 2 percentage points with 98% reliability, how many students would need to be sampled?

Home Internet Access According to a study, $96 \%$ of adults ages $18-29$ had internet access at home in 2015 . A researcher wanted to estimate the proportion of undergraduate college students $(18$ to 29 years) with access, so she randomly sampled 180 undergraduates and found that 157 had access. Estimate the true proportion with $90 \%$ confidence.
