3. Michael wants to make a confidence interval estimate for the proportion of community members in favor of a tax increase for more local school funding. If he wants the margin of error to be no more than 0.025 at a 90% confidence level, a) What is the required sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error? b) Suppose he guesses that about 30% are in favor for the tax increase. What will be the required sample size in this case? Assume the same margin of error and confidence level.
