Answer:

The minimum sample size required is (376.59\ \sigma^{2}).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean is:

 CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha /2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The margin of error for this interval is:

 E= z_{\alpha /2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

 E = 0.101

Confidence level = 95%

α = 5%

Compute the critical value of <em>z</em> for α = 5% as follows:

 z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the sample size required as follows:

     E= z_{\alpha /2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}  

       n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma}{E}]^{2}

          =[\frac{1.96\times \sigma}{0.101}]^{2}\\\\=376.59\times \sigma^{2}

Thus, the minimum sample size required is (376.59\ \sigma^{2}).

pshichka [43]
It's not reasonable to give him 4 gallons because that's way too much for a dog bowl.
