Hi, I was wondering if this solution is correct
A researcher wants to estimate, with 95% confidence, the proportion of people who own a car. A previous study shows that 30% of those interviewed had a car. The researcher wants to be accurate within 1% of the true proportion. Find the minimum sample size necessary.
1.96 [(0.30*0.70)/rootn]=0.01
n=2213.76
so he should take 2213 people
thanks
