Answer:

The minimum number of subjects needed is 385.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

95% confidence, within 5 percentage points, and a previous estimate is not known.

The sample size is n for which M = 0.05. We don't know the true proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5

Then

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05})^2

n = 384.16

Rounding up:

The minimum number of subjects needed is 385.
