If nothing is known about p , .5 can be substituted for p in the sample-size formula for a population proportion. But when this is done, the resulting sample size may be larger than needed. Under what circumstances will using p = .5 in the sample-size formula yield a sample size larger than is needed to construct a confidence interval for p with a specified bound and a specified confidence level?
