Problem 44E
Suppose that the anthropologist of Exercise 7.43wants the difference between the sample mean and the population mean to be less than .4 inch, with probability .95. How many men should she sample to achieve this objective?
Reference
An anthropologist wishes to estimate the average height of men for a certain race of people. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 2.5 inches and if she randomly samples 100 men, find the probability that the difference between the sample mean and the true population mean will not exceed .5 inch.
