A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling
legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion.
(a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed.
(b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support
labeling legislation for GMOs.
(c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).
...
(a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available?
n =
