p and q unknown.
n = _____ (Round up to the nearest integer.) Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! half interval is the margin of error=0.04=1.96*sqrt(.5*.5/n); we use .5 for p and q, because they will give the largest value for n (most conservative).
squaring everything
0.0016=3.8416*.25/n
0.0016n=0.96
divide by 0.0016
n=600.25 so round to 601 ANSWER
square root of (0.25/600)=0.0204
multiply that by 1.96 to get 0.04
