Question:
9.84 It is desired to estimate the proportion of defective items produced by a certain assembly line to within 0.1 with confidence coefficient 0.95. What is the smallest sample size that will guarantee this accuracy no matter where the true proportion of defectives might lie? [Hint: Find the value of p that maximizes the variance p(1 – p)n, and choose the value of n that corresponds to it.]
