It was found that in a sample of 90 teenage boys, 70% of them have received speeding tickets. What is the 90% confidence interval of the true proportion of teenage boys who have received speeding tickets?

If no information is given for the proportion, how many boys must be sampled?
Explain in words what effect an increase in confidence level would have on the width of the confidence interval.
