A production supervisor suspects a difference exists between the proportions p 1 and p 2 of defective

Question:

A production supervisor suspects a difference exists between the proportions p1 and p2 of defective items produced by two different machines. Experience has shown that the proportion defective for each of the two machines is in the neighborhood of .03. If the supervisor wants to estimate the difference in the proportions to within .005 using a 95% confidence interval, how many items must be randomly sampled from the production of each machine? (Assume that the supervisor wants n1 = n2 = n.)
