Answer: a) 1267

b)  1509

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.98=0.02

Using the z-value table , the critical z value for 98% confidence : z_{\alpha/2}=2.33

Margin of error : E= 0.03

Formula for sample size :

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2 , where p is the prior estimate of population proportion.

a) p=0.70

Sample size : n=(0.7)(1-0.7)(\dfrac{2.33}{0.03})^2

Simplify , we get

n=11266.74333333\approx1267

Hence, the minimum sample size required = 1267

a) if no estimate of prior population proportion is given , we take p= 0.5

Sample size : n=(0.5)(1-0.5)(\dfrac{2.33}{0.03})^2

Simplify , we get

n=1508.02777778\approx1509

Hence, the minimum sample size required = 1509
