b. n= 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The objective of this experiment is to test if the new catalyst, XA-100, increases the mean hourly yield of a chemical process, that is known to be μ=750 (pounds per hour) with the current process.
You need to calculate the sample size to estimate the population with determined error margins.
To do so, since you have no population information, only that it is approximately normal distributed, you'll use the Student t statistic to get the sample size.
The formula of the margin of error (d) is:
d= * (
)
I've cleared the sample size of the formula
You need a sample size for the t-Student value and a standard deviation, that's why the information of a pilot study with n=5 and S= 19.62 is given.
a)
95% CI
d= 8 pounds
n= 46.35 ≅ 47
b)
99% CI
d= 5 pounds
n= 127.49 ≅ 128
I hope it helps!
