This week several large companies announced self imposed restrictions on gun sales in response to the recent school shooting in Florida.

OSU students, 107 students reported listening to Lizzo daily.
a. Do the same proportion of UM and OSU students listen to Lizzo
every day? Test at 98% confidence
b. If you want to create a 90% confidence interval with a margin of
error of .09, and want to include 1.5
times as many OSU students as UM students, how many people do you
need from each school?
