A study is done in sydney to estimate the proportion of people living there who have travelled outside of Austrilia. Previous research has found that is proportion is equal to roughly 28%. Find the minimum sample size needed for the study in order to obtain a minimum 5% margin of error in an approximate 95% confidence interval for this proportion.

In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled "1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. How large a sample would you have to take in order to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of buses that fail the inspection and achieve a margin of error of plus or minus 2%?
