The National Council of Small Businesses is interested in the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since there are so many small businesses, the National Council intends to estimate the proportion from a random sample. Let p be the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year.
(b) In a preliminary random sample of 30 small businesses, it was found that eleven had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. How many more small businesses should be included in the sample to be 99% sure that a point estimate p̂ will be within a distance of 0.080 from p? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
