Question 21

A college dean wants to determine the average time it takes a student to get from one class to the next.Preliminary studies have shown that it is reasonable to let $\sigma$ _t = 1.5 minutes the standard deviation of class travel times).What is the sample size which should be examined if the dean wants to assert with a probability of 95 percent that his estimate, the mean time of the random sample, will not be "off" by more than .25 minutes in either direction)?
