Question 570761: Determine the sample size necessary to estimate a population proportion to within .03 with 90% confidence assuming you have no knowledge of the approximate value of the sample proportion. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! , where z = 1.645, E = .03, assume p = .5 because this maximizes p(1-p) and we want a safe estimate. Plugging in everything, we obtain
