You wish to poll N FIU students in order to determine the percentage of students (p) who agree with the statement “Hot-dogs are one of my favorite foods”. Assume that the value of p is approximately equal to 0.8. How many students (N) should you include in your next poll so that that the margin of error of a 95% confidence interval of p is at most 2.5%

One scientist wondered if there was a difference in the average daily intake of dairy products between men and women. He took a sample of n1 = 50 adult men and n2 = 50 adult women and recorded their daily intake of dairy products in grams per day. A summary of the sample results is presented in the table. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average daily intake of dairy products for men and women. Can it be concluded that there is a difference in the average daily intakes for men and women?
