The makers of skittles claim that 20% of skittles candies are orange. Suppose this claim is true. You select a random sample of 30 skittles from a large bag. Let p hat = the proportion of orange skittles in the sample. The standard deviation sigma p hat was found to be 0.0730. What sample size would be required to reduce the standard deviation of the sampling distribution to one-half this value?
