A Population Proportion · Exercise 33

The Ice Chalet offers dozens of different beginning ice-skating classes. All of the class names are put into a bucket. The 5 P.M., Monday night, ages 8 to 12, beginning ice-skating class was picked. In that class were 64 girls and 16 boys. Suppose that we are interested in the true proportion of girls, ages 8 to 12, in all beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. Assume that the children in the selected class are a random sample of the population.

If you decreased the allowable error bound, why would the minimum sample size increase (keeping the same level of confidence)?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
