Problem 8

A tech company is developing a new fast-charging battery and wants to estimate the average time it takes to charge fully. The company requires the estimate to be accurate within 0.400.40 hours of the true population mean with 95%95\% confidence. If the population standard deviation is known to be 1.61.6 hours, what is the minimum number of batteries they must test to achieve this precision?
