Question
Use the expression in the accompanying discussion of sample size to find the size of each sample if you want to estimate the difference
between proportions of men and women who own smartphones. Assume that you want 95% confidence that your error is no more than
0.02.

The sample should include
men and
women.
(Type whole numbers.)
Sample size discussion
The sample size needed to estimate the difference between two population
proportions to within a margin of error E with a confidence level of 1-a can be
found by using the following expression:
P191
P292
E=Za12
n2
Replace n1
and
n, by n in the preceding formula (assuming that both samples
have the same size) and replace each of p,, 91, P2, and q, by 0.5 (because their
values are not known). Solving for n results in this expression:
2
/2
2E?
