Homework Statement
A 95% CI for the population proportion of professional tennis players who earn more than $2 millions a year is found to be [0.82, 0.88]. Given this information the sample size that was used was approximately A) 545 B) 382 C) 233 D) 378
Answer: A) 545
Homework Equations
Z = 1.96 for 95% CI
+/- Z[S/sqrt(n)] = 0.03
The Attempt at a Solution
+/- 1.96 [0.03)/sqrt(n) = 0.03
sqrt(n) = 1.96(2)/0.03
sqrt(n) = 130
n = 11.4 <-- this incorrect.
The answer should be A) 545. But where did i go wrong? How do i solve this problem? Thanks.
