Acurate sample size


Assignment:

A "random survey" was conducted of 3274 people of the "microprocessor generation" (people born since 1971, the year the microprocessor were invented). It was reported that 48% of those individuals surveyed stated that if they had $2000 to spend, they would use it for computer equipment. Also, 66% of those surveyed considered themselves relatively savvy computer users.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
