Formula to find sample size:
n = [(z-value)^2 * p * q]/E^2
... where n = sample size, z-value is found using a z-table for 95% confidence, p = .5 (when no value is stated in the problem), q = 1 - p, ^2 means squared, * means to multiply, and E = .04 (4% in the problem).
Plug values into the formula and calculate n.
I hope this will help get you started.
