The sample size should be 250.

Our margin of error is 4%, or 0.04.  We use the formula

\text{ME}=z\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal:  0.98
Subtract from 1:  1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide both sides by 2:  0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1:  1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value has a z-score of approximately 2.33.  Using this, our margin of error and our proportion, we have:

0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{n}}
\\
\\0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}

Divide both sides by 2.33:
\frac{0.04}{2.33}=\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}

Square both sides:
(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2=\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}

Multiply both sides by n:
(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2n=0.08(0.92)

Divide both sides to isolate n:
\frac{0.08(0.92)}{(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2}=n
\\
\\249.73=n
\\n\approx 250

Cone A is divided into Cone B and Frustum C. B A 12cm C 20cm 20cm Express the volume of Frustum C as a fraction of the volume of
zaharov [31]

The volume of the frustum is volume of the whole cone(A) minus the smaller cone(B) which is would give the volume of frustum(C) = 256cm³

<h3>Calculation of a frustum</h3>

The volume of cone A V=πr²h/3

Where radius = 20cm

The volume of cone B = V=πr²h/3

Where radius = 12cm

Therefore volume of frustum =

V=π * 20² * h/3 - π * 12² *h/3

The variables will cancel out each other

V = 20² - 12²

V = 400- 144

V = 256cm³

Therefore, the volume of the frustum(C) = 256cm³
