A researcher wishes to estimate the percentage of adults who support abolishing the penny. What size sample should be obtained if he wishes the estimate to be within 3 percentage points with 99% confidence if (a) he uses a previous estimate of 22%?

Sample size n 1269.15

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given ,

At 99% of confidence interval,

the level of significance ∝ = 1 - 0.99

the level of significance ∝ =  0.01

the critical value for 99% of confidence interval is:

= 0.005

The value for z from the standard normal tables

= 2.58

The Margin of error E= 3% = 0.03

The formula to  determine the sample size n used can be expressed as follows:

where;

= 22% = 0.22

Then:

n = 1269.1536

Sample size n 1269.15

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.
