Question
A political poll is taken to determine the fraction p of the population that
would support a referendum requiring all citizens to be fluent in the language of probability
and statistics.
(a) Assume p = 0.5. Use the central limit theorem to estimate the probability that in a
poll of 25 people, at least 14 people support the referendum.
Your answer to this problem should be a decimal.
(b) With p unknown and n the number of random people polled, let Xn be the fraction
of the polled people who support the referendum.
What is the smallest sample size n in order to have a 90% confidence that Xn is within
0.01 of the true value of p?
Your answer to this problem should be an integer.
