Question
For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.
A random sample of medical files is used to estimate the proportion p of all people who have blood type B.
(a) If you have no preliminary estimate for p, how many medical files should you include in a random sample in order to be 85%
sure that the point estimate p will be within a distance of 0.04 from p?
Find the critical value for 85% confidence level, Z0.85, and find the specified maximal error of estimate, E. (Round your
answers to two decimal places.)
