Assume that you are conducting a study to estimate the proportion of all PSU students who are enrolled in an online class this semester. Here are the details of your study: Sample size = 400 students Confidence Level = 95% Out of 400 students in your study, 60 students indicate that they are enrolled in an online class this semester. QUESTION: What is the value of the margin of error of your study?

Suppose a TA wanted to estimate the proportion of students who failed Stat 119 for the 980 students enrolled in the course. To do this, he collected information from his 80 students and found a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who failed the course to be (0.183, 0.267). What is his point estimate for the true proportion of students who failed the course? What is his margin of error?

You want to estimate the proportion of students at your college or university who are employed for 10 or more hours per week while classes are in session. You plan to present your results by a 95% confidence interval. Using the guessed value p* = 0.25, find the sample size required if the interval is to have an approximate margin of error of m = 0.06.

For each situation, find the margin of error for the sample. Then find an interval likely to contain the true population proportion. Of 400 teenagers surveyed, 62$\%$ do not plan to stay in their community after finishing their education.
