How to calculate sample size covering a percent of a population?

Asked by rish11 (104points) April 20th, 2012

I’ve seen a couple tables calculating the sample size required to cover a percent of a population with a specific confidence. I would like to determine the formula used. Example 95% of the population at a 95% confidence level would require a sample size of 93.
