large a sample is needed to be 99% sure that a point estimate
p̂ will be within a distance of 0.07 from p?
(Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

(b) A report indicates that approximately 55% of college students
are females. Answer part (a) using this estimate for p.
(Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

a)
When preliminary estimate for proportion is not known then p = 0.50
Sample size = 2.57582 * 0.5 * 0.5 / 0.072
= 338.5
Sample size = 339 (Rounded up to nearest integer)
b)
Given p = 0.55
Sample size = 2.57582 * 0.55 * 0.45 / 0.072
= 335.12
Sample size = 336 (Rounded up to nearest integer)
