Question
A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will​ use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be
9595​%
confident that his estimate is in error by no more than
fourfour
percentage
points question marks?
Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.
​a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems.
 
nequals=nothing
​(Round up to the nearest​ integer.)
​b) Assume that a recent survey suggests that about
9191​%
of computers use a new operating system.
 
nequals=nothing
​(Round up to the nearest​ integer.)
​c) Does the additional survey information from part​ (b) have much of an effect on the sample size that is​ required?
 
 
A.
​Yes, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) dramatically increases the sample size.
 
B.
​No, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) only slightly increases the sample size.
 
C.
​Yes, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.
 
D.
​No, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) does not change the sample size.
 
Sorry, i know it is not transfering over the best, can you please help me with this question?  thank you
