Assume that you want to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of a population mean. Find an estimate of the sample size needed to obtain the specified margin of error for the 95% confidence interval. The sample standard deviation is given. Margin of error, E = 6.1 grams; sample standard deviation, s = 65.6 grams The required sample size is _______? (Round up to the nearest whole number.)
