The Centers for Disease Control reported the percentage of people 18 years of age and older who smoke . 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(to the nearest whole number)? Use 95% confidence.
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)?
