Use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate the population proportion.
margin of error: 0.008; confidence level: 98%; modifyingabove p with caret and modifyingabove q with caret unknown

The minimum sample size required is 21134.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the Margin of error: 0.008; confidence level: 98%

Thus, M.E = 0.008,

are unknown. Let us assume .

In order to find the value of "n" use the formula:

For the value of  

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

Hence, the minimum sample size required is 21134.

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
