A medical researcher wants to construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of knee replacement surgeries that result in complications. An article in a medical journal suggested that approximately 7% of such operations result in complications. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.03? A sample of operations is needed to obtain a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.03 using the estimate 0.07 for p B) A sample of operations is needed to obtain a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.03 when no estimate of p is available.
