Find the minimum sample size you should use to assure that your estimate of p hat will be within the required margin of error around the population p. Assume the Margin of error is 0.08 with a confidence level of 95%. From a prior study, p hat is estimated to be 0.2.

Since E = z*sqrt(pq/n)
---
n = [z/E]^2*pq
----
n = [1.96/0.08]^2*0.2*0.8
---
n = 97 when rounded up
