Total number of sample 1 (n1) = 35000
Total number of sample 2 (n2) = 45000

Confidence interval(in %) = 95

Required Confidence interval = (0.05 - 1.96(0.003), 0.05 + 1.96(0.003))
Required Confidence interval = (0.05 - 0.0059, 0.05 + 0.0059)
Required Confidence interval = (0.0441, 0.0559)
Required Confidence interval = (4.41% , 5.59%)
Please hit thumbs up if the answer helped you.
