    We are given with

    Confidence interval of 95%. This corresponds to a Z value of 1.96

    Margin of error, d = 1 inch

    Population standard deviation, σ = 2.415 inch

    We can calculate for the sample size using the formula

    n = Z² σ² / d²

    Substituting,

    n = 1.96² (2.415) ² / 1²

    n = 22.4 ~ 23
