Answer:
A sample size of 2401 is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of .
The margin of error is given by:
95% confidence level
So , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of , so .
What sample size would be needed to construct a margin of error of 2% with 95% confidence?
This is M for which n = 0.02.
Supposing we have no estimate for the true proportion, we use .
A sample size of 2401 is needed.
