Question

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is approximately σ=25.7σ=25.7. You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 3 of the true population mean. How large of a sample size is required? Round up to nearest whole number.

n = ---------------

Definition Definition Number of subjects or observations included in a study. A large sample size typically provides more reliable results and better representation of the population. As sample size and width of confidence interval are inversely related, if the sample size is increased, the width of the confidence interval decreases.
