Given a level of confidence of 99% and a population standard deviation of 8, answer the following:
n = [zs/E]^2
------
(A) What other information is necessary to find the sample size (n)?
Ans: E
----
(B) Find the Maximum Error of Estimate (E) if n = 98. Show all work
E = zs/sqrt(n)
---
E = 2.5758*8/sqrt(98) = 2.0816
