What is Probability ?

Probability is the likeliness of an event to happen.

It is given that

p = .37

∈ = 0.025

∝ = 1 - 0.995 = 0.005

∝[tex]\rm z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.005/2} = 2.807[/tex]  (From z table)

Sample size n is given by

[tex]\rm n = (\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{\epsilon})^2 p (1-p)\\\\n = (\dfrac{2.807}{.025})^2 *0.37*(1-0.37)\\\\n = 2938.645\\[/tex]

Therefore the sample size required is 2938.645
