Problem on Confidence Interval

Hi All,

Request you to provide me answer to the following question relevant to
Confidence Interval.

For sigma (Standard deviation) = 15, what sample size is required to
specify 99% confidence interval of ±5 units for mean?

Please solve this problem.

Thanks and Regards,
Satish
