Use a formula to find sample size.
Here is one:
n = [(z-value * sd)/E]^2
...where n = sample size, z-value will be found using a z-table to represent the 99% confidence interval, sd = 2.3, E = 0.25, ^2 means squared, and * means to multiply.
Plug the values into the formula and finish the calculation. Round your answer to the next highest whole number.
Hope this helps.
