The pulse rates of 155 randomly selected adult males vary from a low of 40 bpm to a high of 108 bpm. Find the minimum sample size required to estimate the mean pulse rate of adult males. Assume that we want 98% confidence that the sample mean is within 2 bpm of the population mean. Find the sample size using the range rule of thumb to estimate σ.

The pulse rates of 174 randomly selected adult males vary from a low of 45 bpm to a high of 105 bpm. Find the minimum sample size required to estimate the mean pulse rate of adult males. Assume that we want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 2 bpm of the population mean. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Assume that σ=10.8 bpm, based on the value s=10.8 bpm from the sample of 174 male pulse rates.
