We need to find the sampe size (n) so that 95% of the sam
means lie within 13.1 and 13.5

Proportion, percentage , probability or area under curve Confidence intervals

CI ~ Confidence Interval = Mean + - Z value * St dev / sqrt(sam
Final calculation = 0.858
Mean = 13.3 * The area between equals 9
St dev = 1.12 The whole area equals 1,
Z value = 1.96 we do 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
There are two areas and we
as shown below

0.05
0.025

We use the CI formula as follows:

Mean + - Z value * St dev / sqrt(sample size)

Using + Z value

13.3 + 1.96*1.12/sqrt(n) = 13.5

1.96*1.12/sqrt(n) =13.5 -13.3

2.19/sqrt(n) = 0.2
2.19 = 0.2 *sqrt(n)

sqrt(n) = 2.19/0.2

sqrt(n) = 10.95

n = (10.95)^2

The whole area equals 1,
we do 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
There are two areas and we do 0.05 / 2 as

(sample size)

Using - Z value

13.3 - 1.96*1.12/sqrt(n) = 13.1

-1.96*1.12/sqrt(n) = 13.1-13.3

-2.19/sqrt(n) = -0.2
