A large bank in a metropolitan area has a large number of secured loans on apartment facilities throughout the area. Local economic indicators suggest the percentage of vacant apartments ranges from 7 to 10. Concerned about the borrowers' ability to meet loan obligations on time the bank decides to sample from the apartments used to secure loans. The officer responsible for the sample decides to allow a maximum error of the estimate of 0.01 with 99 percent confidence. The officer wishes to take a sample large enough to cover all proportions within the estimated vacancy range. Compute the sample size needed for this study.
