You hope to rent an unfurnished one-bedroom apartment in Dallas next year. You call a friend who lives there and ask him to give you an estimate of the mean monthly rate. Having recently taken a statistics course, your geeky friend asks about the desired margin of error and confidence level for the estimate. He also tells you that the standard deviation of monthly rents for one-bedrooms is $ 360.
