A standard placement test has a mean of 115 and a standard deviation of = 10. Determine the minimum sample size if we want to be 90% certain that we are within 2 points of the true mean
-------------------
Since E = zs/sqrt(n)
sqrt(n) = zs/E
n = [z*s/E]^2
---
n = [1.645*10/2]^2
---
n = 68 when rounded up
