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?

In the 2012 presidential election, 57.5% of eligible voters cast their vote. Suppose that 200 randomly selected eligible voters were asked if they had voted in the 2012 presidential election. What approximate distribution would you expect for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of Americans who voted in the 2012 presidential election?

Suppose that you were going to take a sample of Florida students. You were interested in estimating the proportion who had ever called/emailed/spoken with their congressmen. You were uncertain what this proportion was; however, you wanted to be 95% confident with a margin of error equal to 0.028. What sample size do you need?

Suppose that 60% of Americans planned to vote in the next election. You take a random sample of 32 people and ask them if they plan on voting in the next presidential election. What approximate distribution would you expect for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of Americans who planned on voting?
