A Research and Development Laboratory researcher for a paint company is measuring the level a certain chemical contained in a certain type of paint. If the paint contains too much of this chemical, the quality of the paint will be compromised. On the average, each can of paint contains 10% of the chemical, How many cans of paint should the sample contain if the researcher wants to be 98% certain of being within one percentage point of the true proportion of this chemical?

A. 4871

B. 1107
