Researchers would like to construct a confidence interval to estimate the proportion of adults who would say they learned something new in the past month. Previous studies have suggested that about 40% would answer "yes" to this question. The researchers plan on using a confidence level of 99% and they want the margin of error to be no more than 5%. If we assume p=0.40, what is the smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error?
