It's believed that as many as
a) How many of this younger age group must we survey in order to estimate the proportion of non-grads to within
So, the required sample size to estimate the proportion of non-grads to within
Step 1 :We are given that as many as
Step 2 :We want to estimate the proportion of non-grads to within
Step 3 :We can use the formula for sample size in a proportion estimation:
Step 4 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get
Step 5 :Calculating the above expression, we find that
Step 6 :Since we can't have a fraction of a person, we round up to the nearest whole number to get
Step 7 :So, the required sample size to estimate the proportion of non-grads to within
