A research group wishes to estimate the mean number of hours that high school students spend watching TV on a weekday. A margin of error of E=0.15 hour is desired. Past studies suggest that a population standard deviation of σ=2.2 hours is reasonable. Estimate the minimum sample size required to estimate the population mean with 95% confidence. The required sample size is ____?

A research group wishes to estimate the mean number of hours that high school students spend watching TV on a weekday. A margin of error of E = 0.20 hour is desired. Past studies suggest that a population standard deviation of σ = 2.6 hours is reasonable. Estimate the minimum sample size required to estimate the population mean with 95% confidence. The required sample size is ________. (Round up to the nearest whole number.)

A researcher wanted to determine the mean number of hours per week (Sunday through Saturday) the typical person watches TV. Results from the Sullivan Statistics Survey I indicate that s = 7.5 hours. How many people are needed to estimate the number of hours people watch television per week within 1 hour with 95% confidence? Z a/2=1.96
