answers up to the nearest whole number.$)$

$($a$)$ Assuming $95\%$ confidence, what sample size would be required to obtain a margin of error of $1\mathrm{.}5$ days?

$($b$)$ If the precision statement was made with $90\%$ confidence, what sample size would be required to obtain a margin of error of $3$ days?
