You are conducting a study to estimate the mean height of students in a university. The university has 10,000 students. If you want to achieve a margin of error of no more than 2 inches with 95% confidence, what sample size should you select?
One study claimed that 88 % of college students identify themselves as procrastinators. A professor believes that the claim regarding college students is too high. The professor conducts a simple random sample of 272 college students and finds that 231 of them identify themselves as procrastinators. Does this evidence support the professor's claim that fewer than 88 % of college students are procrastinators? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
One study claimed that 86% of college students identify themselves as procrastinators. A professor believes that the claim regarding college students is too high. The professor conducts a simple random sample of 238 college students and finds that 193 of them identify themselves as procrastinators. Does this evidence support the professor’s claim that fewer than 86% of college students are procrastinators? Use a 0.05 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

A poll found that 59% of a sample of 1020 teens in a certain large country go online several times a day. (Treat this sample as a simple random sample.) Complete parts a through e below. Find the margin of error for this poll if we want 90% confidence in our estimate of the percent of teens in the country who go online several times a day. Explain what the margin of error means. If instead we need to be 95% confident, will the margin of error be larger or smaller? Explain. Find that margin of error.
