b) Determine the sampling distribution for the sample mean, X¯ and calculate the mean and the standard deviation for X¯.
QUESTION 3
To investigate the proportion of smokers who believe that smoking should be banned from public buildings, a researcher randomly samples 500 adult smokers. He finds that 155 smokers support that idea. Obtain a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of smokers who believe that smoking should be banned from public buildings. Find the sample size necessary to reduce the maximum error to 0.03 with a 99% confidence.
