8. (9 pts) Suppose that we want to construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the percentage of voters who would vote a candidate. We suggest that approximately 46% would vote for the candidate. Suppose that we want the margin of error for the confidence interval is no more than 1%. Determine how large the sample size should be.

Suppose you construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the true population mean by conducting a random sample of size n=100. Your sample mean x (with a bar over it) = 80.5 and your calculated maximum error of the estimate is E = 3.5. What does this suggest? Circle answer. a. in 5% of all samples of this size, the mean is more than 84, b. in 95% of all samples of this size, the mean is at least 77,...

We want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all adult males who have spent time in prison, with a margin of error of 0.02. From previous studies, we believe the proportion to be somewhere around 0.07. The required sample size is, therefore: Select one: a. 620 b. 626 c. 632 d. 670

We want to estimate the proportion of students who have credit card debt more than $2,000. What size sample should be obtained if we want to estimate the proportion within 3%; that is, the margin of error is 3%, with 95% confidence. a) suppose a prior study indicates that the percentage is 30% b) suppose we use no prior estimate of the percentage.
