<PRE><B>Question 395934</B>
I do not know what the difference between these are:
Is this the right answer to this (2.326*500/10)² = 13,525.69
or would this be the way to do this ((2.326*500)/10)² = 
Looking to find the number to survey, using 98% confidence level and a deviation of 500 and be wtihin 10 plus or minus. 
------
Since E = z*[s/sqrt(n)]
n = [z*s/E]^2
----
n = [2.326*500/10]^2
---
n = 13525.69..
---
Round up to 13,526
