Answer:
Sample size minimum is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
given that you want to create a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of .5.
The population standard deviation is equal to 1.5
i.e.
Confidence level = 99%
Since population std deviation is known, we can use Z critical value for finding margin of error
Z critical value for 99% = 2.58
Margin of error =
Equate this to 0.5 and solve for n
