How large a sample is needed to achieve the accuracy


A sample of women suffering from excessive menstrual bleeding have been taking an analgesic designed to diminish the effects.A new analgesic is claimed to provide greater relief. After trying the new analgesic, 40 women reported greater relief with the standard analgesic, and 60 reported greater relief with the new one. The researchers wanted a sufficiently large sample to be able to estimate the probability of preferring the new analgesic to within 0.08, with confidence 0.95. If the true probability is 0.75, how large a sample is needed to achieve this accuracy? (Hint: For how large an n does a 95% confidence interval have margin of error equal to about 0.08?)
