a)

for 95 % CI value of z= 1.960
standard deviation ?= 11.00
margin of error E = 2
required sample size n=(z?/E)2                                         = 117.0

b)

for 90 % CI value of z= 1.645
standard deviation ?= 11.00
margin of error E = 2
required sample size n=(z?/E)2                                         = 82.0

c)

for 80 % CI value of z= 1.282
standard deviation ?= 11.00
margin of error E = 2
required sample size n=(z?/E)2                                         = 50.0
