Question:

9.33 Data from a survey of a representative sample was used to estimate that 32% of computer users in 2011 had tried to get on a Wi-Fi network that was not their own in order to save money (USA Today, May 16, 2011).

Suppose you decide to conduct a survey to estimate this proportion for the current year. What is the required sample size if you want to estimate this proportion with a margin of error of 0.05? Compute the required sample size first using 0.32 as a preliminary estimate of p and then using the conservative value of 0.5. How do the two sample sizes compare? What sample size would you recommend for this study?
