A researcher wishes to estimate, with 95% confidence, the population proportion of families who eat fast food at least once per week. Her estimate must be accurate within 3% of the population proportion. Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 16% of the respondents said they eat fast food four to six times per week
