A political candidate has asked you to conduct a poll to determine what percentage of people support her. If the candidate only wants a 2% margin of error at a 99% confidence level, what size of sample is needed? Give your answer in whole people. Hello, I think I was given the wrong answer to this.. There seemed to be something off with the calculation. The answer given was 4160. Could you help me understand if this is correct or help with giving the correct formulas, calculations and answer. Thank you!
