Right now I have Za/2= 1.645 and the margin of error is where I am getting stuck. I have it up to the point of 16.45/sqr root of n=3. I think the next step is to figure out n by n=(16.45/3)^2= 30.06. I don't know where to go from there or if I am finished? Answer by reviewermath(1029) (Show Source):
