| Suppose the university wants to determine what proportion of students prefer online tests to in-class tests. The university invites the students to participate in a survey and out of 130 students that responded 39 prefer online testing. |
| (a) | Find the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students that prefer online testing. |
| (b) | What is the minimum number of students that should answer the survey in order to know with at least 98% certainty that the true proportion of students that prefer online testing lies within 2% of the estimate given by the survey results? |

A survey of 180 students is selected randomly on a large
university campus. They are asked if they use a laptop in class to
take notes. The result of the survey is that 90 of the 180 students
