Let X be the length of needle produced by machine. X follows Normal distribution with standard deviation σ=0.01

The margin of error ME = 0.005 and confidence interval is 95%

We have to find here sample size n from given information

The formula to find sample size when population standard deviation is known is

n =[\frac{z_{\alpha/2} standard deviation}{ME}] ^{2}

where z_{\alpha/2} is critical z value for 95% confidence interval

We have confidence level, c=0.95

α = 1- c = 1-0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05 /2 = 0.025

z (0.025) is z score value for which probability below -z is 0.025 and above z is 0.025

Using z score table to get z critical value

z = -1.96

For confidence interval calculation we use positive z score value 1.96

The sample size will be then

n = [\frac{1.96 * 0.01}{0.005}]^{2}

n = 15.3664

Rounding sample size to nearest integer n=15

a sample is needed to determine with a precision of ±0.005 inches the mean length of the produced needles to 95% confidence is 15
