A population proportion is to be estimated. Estimate the minimum sample size needed to achieve the specified margin of error with a 95% degree of confidence.
A researcher wishes to estimate the proportion of children in a certain neighborhood who are living with only one parent. She wishes to achieve a margin of error of E = 0.021. What is the minimum sample size needed?

◦ There is not enough information to determine whether the margin of error is consistent with the sample size.
