Suppose that you wanted to estimate the population proportion of students at UF that approved of the job that congress was doing. You decided to take a sample, but you needed to determine what size sample to take. You were uncertain what this proportion would be. You wanted to be 95% confident and to have a margin of error of 0.055. What size sample would you need?

Suppose that you wanted to estimate the population mean amount spent on snacks purchased at vending machines. In 2010, a survey found the sample standard deviation was 15 dollars. What sample size would you need to collect in order to make a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 2.25 dollars?

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 believe that the proportion is close to 0.10; however, you wanted to be 95% confident with a margin of error equal to 0.028. What sample size do you need?
