A pilot study found that 72% of adult Americans would like an Internet connection in their car.(a) Use the given preliminary estimate to determine the sample size required to estimate the proportion of adult Americans who would like an Internet connection in their car to within 0.02 with 95% confidence. Use the correct rounding rule for sample size.(b) How would you modify this formula if a 99% confidence interval was desired? 1. Change the population proportion? 2. Replace 1.96 by 2.576 3 . Repalce 1.96 by 1.645(c) Use the given preliminary estimate to determine the sample size required to estimate the proportion of adult Americans who would like an Internet connection in their car to within 0.02 with 99% confidence. Use the correct rounding rule for sample size. Can you provide how to use this with technology (Calculator formula and/orr excel?) Thank you for your help!

Suppose you are an educational researcher, and want to investigate the preferences of students for fully asynchronous classes. You survey 305 students, and find that 208 of them prefer asynchronous classes. Using this information, create a 90% confidence interval around the sample proportion.

How's the economy? A pollster wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who believe that economic conditions are getting better. a. A Gallup poll estimates this proportion to be 0.34. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.03? b. Estimate the sample size needed if no estimate of "p" is available.
In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.05 margin of error and use a confidence level of 99%. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
9. A researcher wants to construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who think that the U.S. invading Iraq was an effective step in combating world terrorism. She has no initial idea of what that proportion is. How large should her sample size be if she wants the margin of error to be at most two percent? Show or explain your thinking.
Vlad the Impaler promotes many of his soldiers into generals (don't ask what happened to the past generals). Haley thinks the proportion is about 79%, but wants to estimate the proportion better by sampling soldiers until her margin of error for a 93% Confidence Interval is less than 0.005. How many soldiers should Haley sample?
