A researcher wishes to estimate, with 95% confidence, the population proportion of adults who eat fast food four to six times per week. Her estimate must be accurate within 5% of the population proportion. (a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed. (b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 38% of the respondents said they eat fast food four to six times per week. (c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).
