We want to estimate the proportion of defective parts produced by a machine and the estimation will be through a two-sided confidence interval and simple random sampling with replacement. a) Assuming a confidence level of 90% and a margin of error of 3%, what is the required sample size? (Assume maximum variance). b) Assuming a 90% confidence level and a 3% estimation error, what is the required sample size? (Assume maximum variance).
