If the manager of a paint supply store wants estimate the mean amount of paint in a 1-gallon can to within +/- 0.004 gallon with 95% confidence and also assume that the standard deviation is 0.02 gallon, what sample size is needed?
-----------
n = [z*s/E]^2
------------
n = [1.96*0.02/0.004]^2 =
n = 96.04
rounding up you get n = 97 (required sample size)
