For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.
A random sample of medical files is used to estimate the proportion p of all people who have blood type B.
Step 1From the given information,Confidence level =0.80Margin of error =0.04 Step 2Thus,a.Let p be the proportion which is assumed to be 0.50The required sample size can be computed as:ME=Zα/2×p×1-pn0.04=1.282×0.5×0.5nn=1.2822×0.250.042 &# ... See the full answer
