hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question
Find the minimum sample size n needed to estimate μ For the given values of c, σ, and E. c=0.98, σ=6.5, and E=22 Assume that a preliminary sample has at least 30 members.
Answer : 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
E = 2.2,
std ( σ ) = 6.5
c ( level of confidence ) = 0.98
To find the minimum sample size
we have to first obtain the value of
note : a can be found using this relation :
( 1 - a ) = 0.98 ----- equation 1
a = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
hence: a/2 = 0.01
This means that P( Z ≤ z ) = 0.99 the value of z can be found using the table of standard normal distribution. from the table the value of z = 2.33
P( Z ≤ 2.33 ) = 0.99
To obtain the sample size n
n = = (6.88409)^2
Therefore n ≈ 48
