A pollster wants to conduct a pre-election poll with a margin of error of 3.5% and a 95% confidence level. The pollster does not know ahead of time what the proportion in favor of either candidate is. How many people must be included in the sample to achieve the goal of a 3.5% margin of error? [Note that p -hat is unknown and is therefore assumed to be 0.5.]
