### Confidence Interval Calculation for Proportion of Children Owning a Smartphone

**Scenario:**
A sociologist wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of children aged 8-10 living in New York who own a smartphone.

#### Part 1:
(a) A survey by the National Consumers League estimated the nationwide proportion to be 0.38. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.04?

**Solution:**
> A sample of **566** children aged 8-10 living in New York is needed to obtain a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.04 using the estimate 0.38 for \( p \).

#### Part 2:
(b) Estimate the sample size needed if no estimate of \( p \) is available.

**Solution:**
> A sample of [  ] children aged 8-10 living in New York is needed to obtain a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.04 when no estimate of \( p \) is available.

**Progress Indicator:**
There is a progress bar displaying that the task is 1/3 complete, showing that the user is on the first part of a three-part exercise.

#### Notes:
- **Graphical Elements:** There are no graphs or diagrams in this image.
- **Interactive Elements:**
  - Text input box for entering the sample size in part (b).
  - "Check" button to verify the answer.
  - "Skip Part," "Save For Later," and "Submit Assignment" options are available.

**Additional Tips for Students:**
- When no estimate of \( p \) is available, use 0.5 for \( p \) in the sample size calculation as it maximizes the required sample size and provides a conservative estimate.
