Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -To be 95% confident that the true value of the estimate will be within 5 percentage points of 0.5, (that is, between the values of 0.45 and 0.55), the required sample size is 385. This is the number of actual responses needed to achieve the stated level of accuracy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Calculating a C% confidence interval with the Normal approximation. ˆp±z√ˆp(1−ˆp)n, where the value of z is appropriate for the confidence level. For a 95% confidence interval, we use z=1.96, while for a 90% confidence interval, for example, we use z=1.64.
