To find the size of the sample used to determine the given values.
Answer to Problem 30E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
There is a probability of
Calculation:
It is known thatthe range of the interval about the mean that has probability for the sample having parameters
Here the value of
Because the probability is
By comparing the intervals we get
Thus
From the above two equations, we can write by subtracting one from the other as
We know that, if a sample of data has values
Substitute the values
Therefore the size of the sample used to determine the above values is
