Estimating the true percentage of the population

A 95% confidence interval for estimating the true percentage of the population that felt this way would have a margin of error to be?

Q2: Using the same info in italics, to reduce the margin of error to 2% and increase the confidence level to 99%, how many workers should be sample in a future study?
