A certain component is critical to the operation of an
electrical system and must be replaced immediately upon
failure. The mean life of this type of component is 110
hours and its standard deviation is 28.5 hours. You plan on
stocking a random sample of these components, and on
calculating the probability that the average life of the
components is greater than 102.49 hours.
What is the minimum sample size needed so that the above
probability is at least 0.95. Round up if needed.
The sample has to have at least
components.
