9. Suppose that a milk producer wishes to estimate the mean shelf life (in days) of one-gallon cartons of milk. The population standard deviation is known from past studies. If the manufacturer wishes to be 95% confident of getting an estimate within 2 days of the true mean shelf life, what was the standard deviation (0) if the required sample size is 138.3 before rounding up?
