Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.

a. assume that nothing is known about the percentage to be estimated. n=___?  (round up to the nearest interger)

b.  assume prior students earn bachelor's degrees in four years or less. n=____?  (round up to the nearest interger)

c.  Does the added knowledge in part b have much of an effect on the sample size?

    a. No, using the additional survey information from part b only slightly reduces the sample size.

    b.  Yes, using the additional survey information from part b only slightly increases the sample size.

     c.  Yes, using the additonal 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
