a.  the sample estimator is p, which represents the sample proportion of spending per person, per day  

 

b) 

b.  some prior knowledge of, either from past research or background work, the population standard deviation is necessary for the problem

 

c) 

c.  an educated guess for the value of the sample proportion, p, or some prior research,….is necessary for the problem
