    Standard deviation = σ = 0.1

    Confidence interval = 95% = 0.95

    Significance level=α = 1-0.95 = 0.05

    α/2 = 0.025

    At α/2 z (α/2) = 1.960 [from statistic table]

    Now,

    the sample size at error of 0.02 is

    0.02=z (α/2) σ/√n

    0.02 = (1.960) * (0.1) / √n

    5/49 = 1/√n

    √n=49/5

    n=96.04

    n should be 96 or greater
