Answer:
The minimum number of cities we need to contact is 96.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence interval
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
.
The margin of error is:

95% confidence interval
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
In this problem, we have that:







The minimum number of cities we need to contact is 96.
B=7
3(b-4)+5b=44
3b-12+5b=44
8b=44+12
8b=56
b=7
2503 is the answer, you can use a calculator to find this by simply plugging it in or use the long division method
I think the answer is 8.7332602....I hope I helped!
