Back to 8.3 A Confidence Interval for A Population Proportion

8.3 Exercise 42

Avg difficulty 2.5

Insurance companies are interested in knowing the population percent of drivers who always buckle up before riding in a car.

  1. When designing a study to determine this population proportion, what is the minimum number you would need to survey to be 95% confident that the population proportion is estimated to within 0.03?
  2. If it were later determined that it was important to be more than 95% confident and a new survey was commissioned, how would that affect the minimum number you would need to survey? Why?
