Answer #1

Preliminary estimate for proportion (Not Known) = 0.5
Margin of error =E=0.03
Level of significance =   1-0.99=0.01
Z critical value is (by using Z table) =2.576
Sample size formula is                   


=1843.03                  
                  
Therefore, sample size approximately will be 1844
