A population has standard deviation o=17.5. Part 1 of 2
(a) How large a sample must be drawn so that a 99.9% confidence interval for u will have a margin of error equal to 4.1? Round the answer up to the nearest integer. (Round the critical value to no less than three decimal places.) A sample size of is needed to be drawn in order to obtain a 99.9% confidence interval with a margin of error equal to 4.1.
Part 2 of 2
(b) If the required confidence level were 95%, would the necessary sample size be larger or smaller? (Choose one) V , because the confidence level is (Choose one) V .
