An engineer wanted to estimate the true mean resistance of a certain electrical circuits (?) by a sample mean (?̅). It is known that the population is normal, and the population standard deviation is ?=0.25 ohms. Determine the required sample size (?) so that he will be 90% confident of being correct within ± 0.06.
We have given here,
Population standard deviation =0.25
Margin of error =E=0.06
Level of significance = 0.1
Z critical value is (by using Z table)=
1.645
Sample size formula is
=46.98
