Why Check It? Why is it necessary to check that npn 5 and nqn 5?

. Sample Size The equation for determining the sample size n = pnqn a zc E b 2 can be obtained by solving the equation for the margin of error E = zc B pnqn n for n. Show that this is true and justify each step.

Maximum Value of pnqn Complete the tables for different values of pn and qn = 1 = pn. From the tables, which value of pn appears to give the maximum value of the product pnqn? pn qn = 1 pn pnqn 0.0 1.0 0.00 0.1 0.9 0.09 0.2 0.8 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 pn qn = 1 pn pnqn 0.45 0.46 0.47 0.48 0.49 0.50 0.51 0.52 0.53 0.54 0.5
