An anthropologist wishes to estimate the average height of men for a certain race of people. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 2.0 inches and if she randomly samples 100 men, find the probability that the difference between the sample mean and the true population mean will not exceed 0.5 inch. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

An anthropologist wishes to estimate the average height of men for a certain race of people. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 2.5 inches and if she randomly samples 100 men, find the probability that the difference between the sample mean and the true population mean will not exceed .5 inch.
Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem
An anthropologist wished to calculate the average height of men of a certain race. If we suppose that the population standard deviation is 2.5 inches and if she tests 100 men randomly, find the probability that the difference in the sample mean and the population mean does not exceed 0.5 inches.

Suppose that the anthropologist of Exercise 7.43 wants the difference between the sample mean and the population mean to be less than .4 inch, with probability. $95 .$ How many men should she sample to achieve this objective?
