Question 436768: find n for a 96% confidence interval for p with e=0.024 using an estimate of p=0.8 ( round to the nearest whole number) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find n for a 96% confidence interval for p with e=0.024 using an estimate of p=0.8 ( round to the nearest whole number)
-----
Since e = z*sqrt(pq/n)
sqrt(n) = [z/e]*sqrt(pq)
n = [z/e]^2*pq
------
n = [1.96/0.024]^2*0.8*0.2
---
n = [81.67]^2*0.16
---
n = 1067 when rounded
