How d you find the value of z* equals 2.054? 6. A newspaper plans to conduct a survey for the upcoming presidential electionin order to estimate the proportion of the population, p, who supports a certaincandidate. What is the smallest sample size needed to obtain an estimate that iswithin 4% of the true proportion p at the 96% confidence level?(A) 26(В) 376(B) 601(D) 660(E) Cannot be determined from information given.Answered Wed May 19 2021 19:52:41 GMT-0700Answer ExplanationThe correct answer is (D). Since we don't have an estimate for p, we use p=0.5, which gives us the largestpossible margin of error, and the critical value for 96% confidence is z* = 2.054. Use algebra to solve forn and then round up to 660.

The margin of error indicates the amount of random sapling error present in a study. The margin of…
