3. 2.5758An automobile manufacturer would like to know what proportion of its customers are not satisfied with the service provided by the local dealer. The customer relations department will survey a random sample of customers and compute a 99% confidence interval for the proportion who are not satisfied.

Sample size: _____
(b) Using the sample size above, when the sample is actually contacted, 32% of the sample say they are not satisfied. What is the margin of the error of the confidence interval?
