Suppose that you were going to take a sample of Florida students. You were interested in estimating the proportion who had ever called/emailed/spoken with their congressmen. You were uncertain what this proportion was; however, you wanted to be 95% confident with a margin of error equal to 0.028. What sample size do you need?

In 2012, the General Social Survey asked its respondents if they had volunteered in the past month. The 95% confidence interval for this result was (0.313, 0.378). Is the following a correct or incorrect interpretation statement? “The probability that the sample proportion is between 0.313 and .378 is 0.95.”
