Answer:
106
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean (m) = 13.5 pounds
Error margin = 0.025
α = 99%
Variation interval = range = 13.3 to 13.7
Standard deviation (σ) estimate from range :
Range / 4
(13.7 - 13.3) /4
= 0.4 / 4
= 0.1
Zcritical at 99% = 2.576
Using the formula :
Sample size (n) = [ (Zcritical * σ) / M. E]^2
n = [(2.576 * 0.1) / 0.025]^2
n = (0.2576 / 0.025)
n = 10.304^2
n = 106.172
n = 107 samples
