Christopher wants to estimate the mean amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted by burning 1\text{ L}1 L1, start text, space, L, end text of a new type of gasoline. He plans on burning 1\text{ L}1 L1, start text, space, L, end text at a time and measuring the resulting emissions. He'll repeat this process for a sample of nnn attempts and construct a confidence interval for the mean. He wants the margin of error to be no more than 202020 grams at a 90\%90%90, percent level of confidence. Preliminary data suggests that \sigma=50σ=50sigma, equals, 50 grams is a reasonable estimate for the standard deviation of the emissions from burning 1\text{ L}1 L1, start text, space, L, end text of this type of gasoline. Which of these is the smallest approximate sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error?
