A normal population has mean 100 and variance $25 .$ How large must the random sample be if you want the standard error of the sample average to be $1.5 ?$
Added by Deborah R.
Step 1
We know the population mean is 100 and the population variance is 25. Therefore, the population standard deviation is $\sqrt{25} = 5$. Show more…

The standard deviation of a variable is 15. If a sample of 100 individuals is selected, compute the standard error of the mean. What size sample is necessary to double the standard error of the mean?
