In a prior sample of corn, farmer Carl finds that 16% of the sample has worms but the margin of error for his population estimate was too large. He wants an estimate that is in error by no more than 1.5 percentage points at the 90% confidence level. (a) What is the minimum sample size required to obtain this type of accuracy? Use his prior sample proportion in your calculation. The minimum sample size is ____ ears of corn. (b)...
