You want to obtain a sample to estimate the proportion of a population that possess a particular genetic marker. Based on previous evidence, you believe approximately p∗=11% of the population have the genetic marker. You would like to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 0.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?n = (Wrong: 10,603)
Do not round mid-calculation. However, you may use a critical value accurate to three decimal places.
2. [20] Let {X1,..., Xn} be a random sample from Ber(p), where p = (0, 1). Consider two
estimators of the parameter p:

The server serves customers only in batches of two, and the service time (for a batch) has an exponential distribution with a mean of 1 unit of time.
