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 wanted to estimate the population mean amount spent on soft drinks purchased at vending machines by UF students per day. In 2010, a survey found the sample standard deviation was 5 dollars. What sample size would you need to collect in order to make a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.50 dollars?
