Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Data
Error = 4% = 0.04
Confidence level = 0.99
Significance level = α=1-0.99=0.01

= Z0.005 -2.57583 Zo.01 (From Excel = NORM.S.INV(0.005)) Assuming Population proportion to be 0.5 p= 0.5 Margin of error formula is given by p(1-p) E = Za X п Simplifying the above formula (Za п 3 p(1 — р) х -2.57583 = 0.5 × (1 – 0.5) × 1036.7 2 1037 0.04
