Answer:
You need to have 538 people in your study.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .
That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 1.88.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
You practiced on the people at work and found a standard deviation of about 0.37 seconds.
This means that
You want to get a 94% confidence interval that is only 0.06 in width.
This means that
How many people do you need to have in your study?
This is n for which M = 0.03. So
Rounding up:
You need to have 538 people in your study.
