Section 05.02 Exercise 07 - Compute confidence interval;
Find necessary sample size
In a sample of 100 steel canisters, the mean wall thickness was 8.1 mm
with a standard deviation of 0.6 mm.
Section 05.02 Exercise 07.d - Compute confidence interval; Find
necessary sample size

mean wall thickness to within +0.08 mm? (Round up the final answer to the nearest
integer.)
The number of canisters that must be sampled is
221
b) How many canisters must be sampled so that a 99% confidence interval will specify the
mean wall thickness to within ±0.08 mm? (Round up the final answer to the nearest
integer.)
The number of canisters that must be sampled is
