In a random sample of 1000 voters nationwide, 357 are found to support a particular candidate for the presidential elections. A. Find a 98% confidence interval for the fraction of the voting population in favor of the candidate. B. How large a sample is needed if we wish to be at least 95% confident that the sample proportion is within 0.02 of the true fraction of the voting population?
