Suppose a department store wants to estimate the average age of the customers of its contemporary apparel department, correct to within 2 years, with level of confidence equal to 0.95. Management believes that the standard deviation is 8 years. The sample size they should take is 61

a. true
b. false

b. false

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The sample size they should take is.

n, when

So

Dividing by 2

We have to round up, so the needed sample size is 62, and the problem's statement is false.
