Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights from Dallas to Sacramento to within 6 minutes with 95% confidence. Based on a previous study, arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 39.6 minutes.

The sample size necessary is of 168.

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 Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 1.96.

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.

Based on a previous study, arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 39.6 minutes.

This means that

Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights from Dallas to Sacramento to within 6 minutes with 95% confidence.

This is n for which M = 6. So

Rounding up:

The sample size necessary is of 168.
