Does the function have a vertical or horizontal asymptote?

In a current election campaign, PSI has just found that 220 registered voters, out of 500 contacted, favor a particular candidate.

a) What’s the 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of the population of registered voters that favor the candidate?

b) Suppose that PSI would like a .99 probability that the sample proportion is within + .03 of the population proportion. How large a sample size is needed to meet the required precision? (A previous sample of similar units yielded .44 for the sample proportion.)
