Estimation of the mean process

Reference no: EM13100319

A chemical process converts lead to gold. However, the production varies due to the powers of the alchemist. It is known that the process is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 2.5 g. How many samples must be taken to be 90% certain that an estimate of the mean process is within 1.5 g of the true but unknown mean yield?
