Suppose that a state wants to access the public opinion on the proposal that drivers who are 65 years or older should take a driving test. Suppose that the state wants to estimate the proportion of people who are in favor of this change, and is also interested to compute a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 2.5%. What would be the minimum sample size needed for this purpose.
