You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is approximately σ = 39.9 σ=39.9. You would like to be 99% confident that your estimate is within 2 of the true population mean. How large of a sample size is required?

large of a sample size  n = 2645

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

The population standard deviation 'σ' = 39.9

Given data the estimate is within 2 of the true population mean so given the margin of error = 2

we know that margin of error is determined by

Margin of error =

cross multiplication , we get

squaring on both sides , we get

                    n = 2645.15

                    n = 2645

Conclusion:-

large of a sample size  n = 2645

sorry, i can't understand your question. will later if you describe more clearly!
