in estimating a population proportion using a large sample, the value of is assumed to be 0.35, and its 95% error margin is 0.02. find the sample size to meet the error margin.

Respuesta :

2185 people make up the sample size.

What is proportion?

An equation in which two ratios are made equal is called a proportion. For instance, you could write the ratio as 1: 3 (for every one boy, there are three girls), which means that 14 of the population is made up of boys and 34 of the population is made up of girls.

The formula used to determine sample size (n) is as follows:

n =  p(1 - p) (z²/ e² )

Where z = 1.96 with a 95% confidence interval (), p is the proportion, and e is the margin of error.

z = 1.96, p = 0.35, e = 0.02

n =  0.35(1 - 0.35) (1.96²/ 0.02²)

n = (0.2275)(9604)

= 2184.91

n ≈ 2185

2185 people make up the sample size.
