A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of motor vehicle fatalities that were caused by alcohol-impaired driving. His estimate must be accurate within 6% 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 23% of motor vehicle fatalities that were caused by alcohol-impaired driving. (c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).
