Given that, margin of error (E) = 0.02
A 90% confidence level has significance level of 0.10 and critical value is,
A) If we don't know about the percentage to be estimated, so we assume, it to be 50%. That is, p = 0.5
We want to find, the sample size (n),
Therefore, required sample size is 1691.
b) Given that, p = 0.35, then sample size (n) is,
Therefore, required sample size is 1539.
c) Added knowledge in part B) reduces the required sample size.
Note: if you want sample size is nearest to next whole number, then sample size in part a) and part b) are, n = 1692 and n = 1540 respectively.
