Answer:
1667
Step-by-step explanation:
(Margin of Error)² = (z × 0.5)²/n
Where n = number of samples
Minimum number of samples formula = (z × 0.5)²/ (Margin of Error)²
From the above question:
Margin of Error = 0.024
z = z score of a 95% confidence interval = 1.96
Minimum number of samples
= (1.96 × 0.5)²/(0.024)²
= 0.9604/(0.024)²
= 1667.3611111
Approximately to the nearest whole number = 1667
Therefore, the minimum number of samples is 1667
