Researchers are planning a study to estimate the impact on crop yield when no-till is used in combination with residue retention and crop rotation. Based on data from a meta-analysis of 610 small farms, the researchers estimate there is a 2.5% decline in crop yield when no-till is used with residue retention and crop rotation. Suppose the researchers want to produce a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 1.0%. Determine the minimum sample size requiblack for this study.
The sample size needed to create a confidence interval estimate depends on the margin of error, the initial estimated proportion, and the confidence level. Be sure to use proportions rather than percentages. Round your final answer up to the nearest whole number.
n = field comparisons

Suppose that administrators of a large school district wish to estimate the proportion of children in the district enrolling in kindergarten who attended preschool. They took a simple random sample of children in the district who are enrolling in kindergarten. Out of 60 children sampled, 42 had attended preschool.
Construct a large-sample 99% z-confidence interval for p, the proportion of all children enrolled in kindergarten who attended preschool. Give the limits of the confidence interval as decimals, precise to at least three decimal places.

I came here since I know this is the best place to ask a question.
I'm a first year student who changed his major to applied mathematics. In middle school I was a garbage math student, but I realized the importance of math in high school when I was introduced to amazing teachers who truly loved what they did. I put myself in tougher classes and eventually got to AP calculus. There was an error in my idea, I never really got a deep understanding of the stuff I was doing and was struggling since I didn't understand the basics and never really did practice problems.
This year I began to start over from scratch from pre-algebra working to pre-calculus. Even though I have already took Calculus.
I'm in a introduction to research class this semester and we are preforming a meta-analysis of some random topic and then presenting at the end of the semester. I'm really enjoying it, and I will definitely apply for more research as I progress through my undergraduate career. (Urge to Compute)
I know I'll probably never win a field's medal, but I'm really intimidated and humbled by the near perfect SAT math scores and Math Olympiad participants.
It's too late for me to have that, but the best quality I have is sticking with the concepts and problems until I can explain them to my dog. (Basically until I understand it)
I'm really sorry for the long post / soft question, I've just been thinking about this since 11th grade but never asked anyone about it.
Basically I'm just wondering if I'm wasting my time, and if there have been mathematicians that were in a similar situation. (Famous or not.)
Again, sorry for the soft question and thank you for taking the time to read this!

We often hear about meta-analysis problems when we are dealing with statistical data and need to provide information based on certain variables. Depending on what questions you need to address, you must start with the examples that will help you to understand the problems in each particular case. Some of them will deal with equations, while meta analysis statistic will require strategic thinking that will differ from what you might perceive as the meta analysis. The best of both worlds is to examine as much as you can, based on our answers to the Meta challenges that are studied today.
