Answer

The researcher needs to sample another 111 teenagers.

Work Step by Step

$p=0.95=95$% We must have: $np(1-p)\geq10$ $n0.95(1-0.05)\geq10$ $n\geq\frac{10}{0.95\times0.05}=210.526$ $n\geq211$ (The number of teenagers must be an integer) But, the researcher sampled 100 teenagers. So, the researcher needs to sample another: $211-100=111$ teenagers.
