3. A manufacturer of official NFL footballs uses a machine to calibrate the new balls to a pressure of 13.5 lbs. When the machine is calibrated the mean inflation pressure is 13.5 lbs, but uncontrollable factors cause the individual pressures to vary randomly from 13.3 to 13.7 lbs. For quality control purposes, the manufacturer wished to estimate the mean inflation pressure to within 0.025 lbs of its true value with a 99% confidence interval. What is the minimum sample size needed? To estimate the population standard deviation, use the formula s=range of observations / 4.
