The population standard deviation for the height of college basketball players is 3 inches. If we want to estimate a 99% confidence interval for the population mean height of these players with a 0.5 margin of error, how many randomly selected players must be surveyed?

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.
