Question

100%

What is the minimal sample size needed for a 95% confidence interval to have a maximal margin of error of 0.1 in the following scenarios? (Round your answers up the nearest whole number.)

(a) a preliminary estimate for p is 0.15

(b) there is no preliminary estimate for p

Definition Definition Number of subjects or observations included in a study. A large sample size typically provides more reliable results and better representation of the population. As sample size and width of confidence interval are inversely related, if the sample size is increased, the width of the confidence interval decreases.
