A Population Proportion · Exercise 34

Insurance companies are interested in knowing the population percentage of drivers who always buckle up before riding in a car.

(a) When designing a study to determine this population proportion, what is the minimum number you would need to survey to be 95 percent confident that the population proportion is estimated to within 0.03?
(b) If it were later determined that it was important to be more than 95 percent confident and a new survey was commissioned, how would that affect the minimum number you would need to survey? Why?
