Hi,
In order to test a new production method, 36 employees were selected randomly to try the new method.
The mean was 75.79 parts per hour with a standard deviation of 28.25 parts per hour.
What is the sample size needed to obtain a margin of error 14.01 with a 90% confidence interval?
SE = 14.01 =+1.645%2828.25%2Fsqrt%28n%29%29
sqrt%28n%29+=+1.645%2A28.25%2F14.01+=+3.317 n = 11
