useful life =40 hours

Margin of Error= 10 hours

At 95% level of confidence

n=((z)(σ)MOE)2n=(\frac {(z)(\sigma)}{MOE})^2


For 95% level of confidence, standard deviation σ\sigma = 0.05

\therefore n=((40)(0.05)10)2n=(\frac {(40)(0.05)}{10})^2

=0.04=0.04

    \impliesInterval of the sample ranges up to 0.04 (overall upper limit)
