To determine the effectiveness of a diet in reducing the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream, 100 people are put on a diet. After they have been on the diet a sufficient amount of time, their cholesterol count will be taken. The nutritionist running this experiment has decided to endorse the diet if at least 65 people have a lower cholesterol count after going on the diet. What is the probability that the nutritionist endorses the new diet if, in fact, it has no effect on the cholesterol level? (If the diet has no effect on the cholesterol level, then a person's cholesterol level is equally likely to go up or down.)

Jenny works for a local brewing company. She and her team mates try to estimate the Hong Kong consumers’ preference on their beer brand compared to other imported ones. They performed a survey asking if the respondent prefers the company’s brand the most or not. Based on this survey result, they want to decide how much money the company needs to invest on brand promotions in the coming year. This is an important decision for the company, and the management wants to have the probability that the sample proportion p is +/- 3% from the actual proportion p to be very high (i.e., at least 99%). In this case, what is the desirable sample size n for the following two cases? Give the answer in the form of: at least ___ x100 samples. Case i. When the actual proportion is 50%. Case ii. When the actual proportion is 10%. Explain why the sample sizes required to achieve the same accuracy in the two cases are different.
