Answer:
144
Explanation:
From information available
Margin of error = 4
S = 18.61
ME = Z-alpha/2 x s/√n
Alpha = 1-0.99
= 0.01
Alpha/2 = 0.01/2
= 0.005
Z-alpha/2 =2.576
Putting into the formula we have
4/1 = 2.576 x 18.61/√n
When we cross multiply
We have
√n = (2.576 x 18.61)/4
√n = 11.98484
n = 11.98484²
n = 143.63
n = 144
