Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution :

Given that,

= 22% = 0.22

1 - = 1 - 0.22 = 0.78

Margin of error = E = 3% = 0.03

At 95% confidence level the z is ,

= 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

/ 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

Z_/2 = Z_0.025 = 1.96

Sample size = ( Z_/2 / E)² * * (1 - )

= (1.96 / 0.03)² * 0.22 * 0.78

= 732.46 = 733

Sample size = n = 733
