We can solve this problem by referring to the standard probability distribution tables for z.

We are required to find for the number of samples given the proportion (P = 5% = 0.05) and confidence level of 95%. This would give a value of z equivalent to:

z = 1.96

Since the problem states that it should be within the true proportion then p = 0.5

Now we can find for the sample size using the formula:

n = (z^2) p q /E^2

where,

<span> p = 0.5</span>

q = 1 – p = 0.5

E = estimate of 5% = 0.05

Substituting:

n = (1.96^2) 0.5 * 0.5 / 0.05^2

n = 384.16

<span>Around 385students are required.</span>
