3) PTC is a substance that has a strong bitter taste for some people and is tasteless for others. The ability to taste PTC is inherited. About 75% of Italians can taste PTC, for example.

Starting with the 75% estimate for Italians, how large a sample must you collect in order to estimate the proportion of PTC tasters within ± 0.04 with 90% confidence?
