Answer:

We are given:

Confidence level = 99%. Therefore, the critical value at 0.01 significance level using the standard normal table is given below:

z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}=2.576

Margin of error is given in the question as:

E=0.05

Since the previous proportion is not given, therefore, we need to assume \hat{p} = 0.5

Therefore, the sample size is:

n=\hat{p}(1-\hat{p}) \left( \frac{z_{\frac{0.01}{2}} }{E} \right)

  =0.5(1-0.5) \left( \frac{2.576}{0.05} \right)

  =0.25 \times 51.52^2

  =663.6 \approx 664

Therefore, 664 sample observations are required.
