A student of EE department wants to measure the voltage drop on a resistor. However, due to bad contacts, any measurement will not yield the exact value of that voltage. The student has decided to make a series of measurements and then use their average value as an estimate of the actual voltage drop. The student believes that the successive measurements are independent random variables, where a standard deviation is 0.2 [V]. What minimum number of measurements are needed to be at least 95 percent certain that the result is accurate to within 0.1 VI?
