Using the z-distribution, it is found that a sample of 171 should be selected.
<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>The confidence interval is:
The margin of error is:
In which:
is the sample mean.
- z is the critical value.
- n is the sample size.
is the standard deviation for the population.
For this problem, the parameters are:
Hence we solve for n to find the needed sample size.
n = 170.7.
Rounding up, a sample of 171 should be selected.
