Answer

The researcher needs to sample another 12 teenagers.

Work Step by Step

$p=0.90=90$% We must have: $np(1-p)\geq10$ $n0.90(1-0.10)\geq10$ $n\geq\frac{10}{0.90\times0.10}=111.111$ $n\geq112$ (The number of teenagers must be an integer) But, the researcher sampled 50 teenagers. So, the researcher needs to sample another: $112-100=12$ teenagers.
