An HR administrator wishes to know the proportion of employees that are currently using a very costly benefit to determine if it is still considered valuable by the staff. If the administrator has no preliminary notion of the proportion of employees using the benefit, how big a sample must she collect to be accurate within 0.08 at the 98% level of confidence?

Walk to Work Alan wants to estimate the proportion of adults who walk to work. In a survey of 10 adults, he finds 0 who walk to work. Explain why a $95 \%$ confidence interval using the normal model yields silly results. Then compute and interpret a $95 \%$ confidence interval for the proportion of adults who walk to work using Agresti and Coull's method.
