The price-earnings ratios for all companies whose shares are traded on a specific stock exchange follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4.2. A random sample of these companies is selected in order to estimate the population mean price-earnings ratio. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. How large a sample is necessary in order to ensure that the probability that the sample mean differs from the population mean by more than 1.5 is less than 0.05?
