Suppose that a study designed to collect new data on smokers and nonsmokers uses a preliminary estimate of the proportion who smoke of .30. a. How large a sample should be taken to estimate the proportion of smokers in the population with a margin of error of .02? Use 95% confidence. Remove all commas from your answer before submitting. Round your answer to next whole number. b. Assume that the study uses your sample size recommendation in part (a) and finds 520 smokers. What is the point estimate of the proportion of smokers in the population? (to 4 decimals) c. What is the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of smokers in the population? (to 4 decimals)
