Television A researcher wanted to determine the mean number of hours per week (Sunday through Saturday) the typical person watches television. Results from the Sullivan Statistics Survey I indicate that s = 7.5 hours.

(a) How many people are needed to estimate the number of hours people watch television per week within 2 hours with 95% confidence?

(b) How many people are needed to estimate the number of hours people watch television per week within 1 hour with 95% confidence?

(c) What effect does doubling the required accuracy have on the sample size?

(d) How many people are needed to estimate the number of hours people watch television per week within 2 hours with 90% confidence? Compare this result to part (a). How does decreasing the level of confidence in the estimate affect sample size? Why is this reasonable?
