Explanation / Answer

Solution:- n = 300 p = 0.21

a) standard deviation: sqrt(pq/n) = sqrt(0.21*0.79/300) = 0.0235

b) SD/2 = sqrt(pq/n)/2
= sqrt(0.21*0.79/300)/2
= sqrt(0.21*0.79/300) * (1/2)
= sqrt((0.21*0.79/300)*(1/4))
= sqrt(0.21*0.79/1200)
n = 1200
or

sd(p) = 0.0235/2 = 0.01175

0.01175 = sqrt(0.21*0.79/n)
sqrt(n) = sqrt(0.21*0.79)/0.01175
sqrt(n) = 34.6645
n = 1201.3156
n = 1201
