I – Find the margin of error given the following:

1. n = 150, p̂ = 0.61, 95% confidence level

2. n = 210, p̂ = 0.45, 90% confidence interval

3. n = 90, p̂ = 0.55, 99% confidence interval

II – Given the following sample data and confidence level, construct the confidence interval estimate
of the population proportion p.
1. n = 160, x = 64, 95% confidence interval

2. n = 210, p̂ = 0.45, 90% confidence interval

3. n = 450, p̂ = 0.55, 99% confidence interval

Find the length of the confidence interval given the following data:
4. p̂ = 0.35, n = 400, 95% confidence level

5. p̂ = 0.40, n = 290, 90% confidence interval

6. p̂ = 0.49, n = 360, 99% confidence interval

7. 𝜎 = 0.5. n = 36, 95% confidence level

8. 𝜎 = 0.38, n = 38, 99% confidence interval

 10. s2 = 30.25, n = 28, 90% confidence interval

III – Find the sample size required to estimate a population proportion given the following data:
1. confidence level = 95%
p = 29%
margin of error = 3.6%

2. confidence level = 90%

p = 45%
margin of error = 4.6%

3. confidence level = 99%

p = 0.55
margin of error = 0.048

4. Margin of error = 0.056

Confidence level = 90%
p is unknown

5. Margin of error = 0.062

Confidence level = 99%
p is unknown
