Answer:

Sample size is n=423

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Margin of error =4%

Confidence level =90%

Suppose, sample proportion=0.5

        i.e. \hat{P}=0.5

We know that,

     Margin of error =2^*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n} }

 ∴ 1.64\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n} } \leq 4\%

\Rightarrow 1.64\sqrt{\frac{0.25}{n} } \leq 0.04

\Rightarrow \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{n} } \leq \frac{0.04}{1.64}

\Rightarrow \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{n} } \leq 0.0243

\Rightarrow \sqrt{n}\geq \frac{0.5}{0.0243}

\Rightarrow \sqrt{n}\geq 20.57

squaring on both side,

∴ n=423.1249

Hence, the sample size is,

   n=423

Hence, the correct option is (b).
