A study of one-millimeter crystal marbles used in making crystal chandeliers showed that the standard deviation of the weight a crystal marble is 250 milligrams.
A crystal chandelier manufacturer wishes to find the 90% confidence interval for the average weight of a one-millimeter crystal marble.
How many crystal marbles does she need to weigh to be accurate within 15 milligrams
------------------
n = [z*s/E]^2
---
n = [1.645*250/15]^2 = 752 when rounded up
