For this recipe, we want to know how many students we need to sample in order to be able to observe a difference of 2.5 percent or 5 percent between the hypothesized and actual proportions that have a power of 80 percent. We will use a hypothesized proportion of 25 percent and differences of 2.5 and 5 percent.
