a)Find the minimum sample needed, using a prior study that found that 48% of the respondents said they have high speed internet access.
n=[1.645/0.03]^(0.48)(0.52) = 750.47
n = 751 when rounded up
===============================
b) No preliminary estimate is available.Find the minimum sample size needed.
n = [1.645/0.03]^2(1/2)(1/2) = 751.67
n = 752 when rounded up
================
