   The margin of error is  E = 5% = 0.05

Generally given that there was no prior knowledge about the proportion of who might support the law, we will assume the sample proportion to be  

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

=>  

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

=>  

=>      

the number of the people going.
