Suppose that you were going to take a sample of Florida students. You were interested in estimating the proportion who had ever called/emailed/spoken with their congressmen. You believe that the proportion is close to 0.10; however, you wanted to be 95% confident with a margin of error equal to 0.028. What sample size do you need?

In the year 2014, according to salary.com, physical therapists in Jacksonville, Florida have an average annual salary of 75,000. The standard deviation is about 6,000 dollars. The distribution of salaries is right skewed. Suppose that a sample of 10 physical therapists is taken from Jacksonville, Florida. What is the sampling distribution of the sample mean?
