### Poll and Sample Size Calculation**Problem Statement:**A poll reported **42%** support for a statewide election with a margin of error of **2.13** percentage points.**Question:**How many voters should be sampled for a **99% confidence interval**? Round up to the nearest whole number.**Input Field:**\[ \text{Ex: 1234 voters} \]**Buttons:**1. Check2. Next**Steps to Calculate Sample Size:**1. Identify the reported support percentage (proportion).2. Determine the margin of error.3. Utilize the z-value for the desired confidence level (e.g., 2.576 for 99% confidence).4. Apply the sample size formula for proportions.**Formula:**\[ n = \left( \frac{Z^2 \cdot p \cdot (1-p)}{E^2} \right) \]Where:- $ n $ is the sample size- $ Z $ is the z-value (2.576 for 99% confidence)- $ p $ is the proportion (0.42 in this case)- $ E $ is the margin of error (0.0213 in this case)This exercise helps understand the process of determining sample sizes for surveys or polls to ensure a defined confidence level and margin of error.

Suppose that you wanted to buy a new Honda Civic and you want to wait until you can get a good deal. You want to see if the usual/average price of a Honda Civic is below the blue book value of $21,550. You are unsure that the prices of the current listings around you are lower than the blue book value of a Honda Civic so you randomly sample 49 listings from the area and find their sample mean selling price is $20,015 and their sample standard deviation is $1750.

1) choose four numbers with the largest possible standard deviation. You may use the same numbers more than once. 2) is your selection of numbers the only possible correct answer
We predict that children exhibit more aggressive act after watching a violent television show. The scores for ten children were recorded before they watched a violent show and then after they watched a violent show. Aggression was measured in terms of number of aggressive acts (e.g. hitting, yelling, kicking etc). Sample 1 (after TV show): 5,6,4,4,7,3,2,1,4,1 Sample 2 (before TV show): 4,6,3,2,4,1,0,0,5,2 What is the critical value?
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.

18. The governor of New York has banned selling or purchasing "large" soft drinks, where a "large" is defined as being more than 16 oz. Sonic, famous for its Route 44 drinks is interested in estimating the proportion of New Yorkers that favor this ban. From a random survey of 800 New Yorkers, 375 answered no to the question, “Do you favor the governor's ban on 'large' soft drinks?" a. Find a 97.5% confidence interval for the proportion of New Yorkers who favor the ban on "large" soft drinks. b. Interpret the confidence interval. c. Can you conclude with 97.5% confidence that a majority of New Yorkers favor the ban on "large" soft drinks? Why or why not. d. Without doing any other calculations, can you be 99% confident that a majority of New Yorkers favor the ban on “large" soft drinks?
