To calculate the sample size needed for a 5% margin of error and 99% confidence level, we can use the formula:
n = (Z^2 * p * (1-p)) / E^2
where:
- n = sample size
- Z = Z-score for 99% confidence level (2.576 for a 99% confidence level)
- p = sample proportion (0.35)
- E = margin of error (0.05)
Plugging in the values:
n = (2.576^2 * 0.35 * (1-0.35)) / 0.05^2
n = (6.635776 * 0.35 * 0.65) / 0.0025
n = (1.7745408) / 0.0025
n = 709.81632
Therefore, a sample size of 710 is needed to have a 5% margin of error and 99% confidence level.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous calculation. Let me recompute:
To calculate the sample size needed for a 5% margin of error and 99% confidence level, we use the formula:
n = (Z^2 * p * (1-p)) / E^2
where:
- n = sample size
- Z = Z-score for 99% confidence level (2.576 for 99% confidence level)

Plugging in the values:
n = (2.576^2 * 0.35 * (1-0.35)) / 0.05^2
n = (6.635776 * 0.35 * 0.65) / 0.0025
n = (1.8628) / 0.0025
n = 745.12
Therefore, a sample size of 746 is needed to have a 5% margin of error and 99% confidence level. Thank you for your understanding.

I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let's correct the calculation:
Given:
- Sample proportion (p) = 0.35
- Margin of error (E) = 0.05
- Confidence level = 99%
- Z-score for 99% confidence level ≈ 2.576
The formula for calculating the sample size is:
n = (Z^2 * p * (1 - p)) / E^2
Plugging in the values:
n = (2.576^2 * 0.35 * (1 - 0.35)) / 0.05^2
n = (6.635776 * 0.35 * 0.65) / 0.0025
n = 1.6870572 / 0.0025
n ≈ 674.823
Rounded up to the nearest whole number, the sample size needed is 675 to have a 5% margin of error and 99% confidence level. Thank you for your patience.

Of course, let's double-check the calculation for the sample size needed with a 5% margin of error and 99% confidence level.
Using the formula:
n = (Z^2 * p * (1 - p)) / E^2
