Just prior to his death, Jameson, a prominent attorney, was sued by a former client. The suit alleged malpractice on the part of Jameson and requested damages of $90 million. On filing the Form 706, the executor of Jameson’s estate claimed a § 2053 deduction of $30 million as to the lawsuit. The $30 million amount was based on one of the many appraisals rendered by experts regarding the probable liability of the estate on the date of Jameson’s death. Other appraisals varied by as much as $11 million. Upon audit of the Form 706 by the IRS, a deduction of $1 was allowed. After prolonged litigation and during appeal, the malpractice lawsuit was settled for $289,000.

A random sample of thirty firms dealing in wireless products was selected to determine the proportion of such firms that have implemented new software to improve productivity. It turned out that eight of the thirty have implemented such software. Compute a 95% confidence interval on p, the true proportion of such firms that have implemented new software. In other situation, suppose there is concern about whether or not the point estimate of p = 8/30 is accurate enough because the confidence interval around p is not sufficiently narrow. By using p as your estimate of p, calculate how many companies would need to be sampled to have a 95% confidence interval with a width of only 0.05. (10 marks)
