You want to obtain a sample to estimate the proportion of a population that possess a particular genetic marker. Based on previous evidence, you believe approximately 69% of the population have the genetic marker. You would like to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 5% of the true population proportion. Do not round mid-calculation and be careful when you round your answer. How large of a sample size is required? n=
