Political Science, Inc. (PSI) specializes in voter polls and surveys designed to keep political office seekers informed of their position in a race. Using telephone surveys, interviewers ask registered voters who they would vote for if the election were held that day. ​In a recent election campaign, PSI found that 220 registered voters, out of 500 contacted, favored a particular candidate. ​a. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of the population of registered voters that favors the candidate. Interpret the interval.b. Suppose that PSI would like 99% confidence that the sample proportion is within ± 0.03 of the population proportion. What sample size is needed to provide the desired margin of error?
