In a recent national poll consisting of 1012 randomly selected adults. Participants wereasked whether or not human cloning should be allowed. Of those surveyed 900indicated human cloning should not be allowed. A newspaper releases and articleclaiming 90% of those across the nation are against human cloning based on thenational poll. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of adultswho are against human cloning. Does this interval support the newspaper’s claim? What sample size would be needed to assure 99% confidence with an error bound of 0.02?
