### Sample Size Determination for Estimating a Population Proportion#### Problem Statement:You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population proportion is approximately 28%. You would like to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 4.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?#### Hint:For additional help, watch the [Video](#).#### Solution:The sample size is calculated as follows:\[ n = 269.40 \](*Please note that n should be rounded up when determining sample size in practical applications. Therefore, the required sample size would be 270.*)

It is given that margin of error (E) is 0.045 and the confidence level is 0.90.
