question 20

Essay

In a very large school district student records have been kept in three distinct data bases, one each for elementary, middle, and high school. Because of this, data entry errors tend to be compounded as students move through the grades. The district now has a new data base and wishes to fix the original data entry errors. To allocate enough secretarial time to this task, an estimate of the proportion of records that contain errors must be made. Initial estimates are that there are fixable errors in about 15% of the records. Based on the 15% assumption, compute the sample size required to estimate the true proportion of records with errors to within .025 with 95% confidence.
