question

7.4-5. A quality engineer wanted to be 98%98 \% confident that the maximum error of the estimate of the mean strength, μ\mu, of the left hinge on a vanity cover molded by a machine is 0.25 . A preliminary sample of size n=32n=32 parts yielded a sample mean of x¯=35.68\bar{x}=35.68 and a standard deviation of s=1.723s=1.723. (a) How large a sample is required?
