A veterinarian collects a random sample of 40 cats that she has treated over the years and indicated the number of years each cat lived. Ten of the forty cats lived to be over 11 years old.
1. Use the Empirical Rule to construct a 99.7% confidence interval of the proportion (round to three decimal places) of all cats that will live to be more than 11 years old.
2. What sample size should the veterinarian use to achieve a margin of error of no more than 8% for the 99.7% confidence interval using the Empirical Rule? Use p=0.5 since we do not know the exact population proportion.
