Cora wants to determine a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of high school students in the area who attend their home basketball games. How large of a sample must she have to get a margin of error less than 0.02? Assume we have no prior estimate of the proportion and want a conservative choice for the sample size.

A poll found that 59% of a sample of 1020 teens in a certain large country go online several times a day. (Treat this sample as a simple random sample.) Complete parts a through e below. Find the margin of error for this poll if we want 90% confidence in our estimate of the percent of teens in the country who go online several times a day. Explain what the margin of error means. If instead we need to be 95% confident, will the margin of error be larger or smaller? Explain. Find that margin of error.
