In a survey conducted by CNN, 130 of the 250 people surveyed have a savings account. (a) Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true population proportion of people that have a savings account. (b) Suppose CNN is going to conduct this survey again. If we want our estimate to be within 3% of the true population proportion with 90% confidence, how many people do we need to sample?
Suppose CHINA is fixing its currency, the renninbi, to the US dollar. Explain why an increase in the real demand for money in the US (foreign country) will cause a decrease in the Money supply in China. Use a graph of the Money Market and the Foreign Exchange market to support your answer.
