The pulse rates of 145 randomly selected adult males vary from a low of 43 bpm to a high of 115 bpm. Find the minimum sample size
required to estimate the mean pulse rate of adult males. Assume that we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 2 bpm of the
population mean. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a. Find the sample size using the range rule of thumb to estimate o.
n = 312
(Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)
b. Assume that o = 11.9 bpm, based on the value s = 11.9 bpm from the sample of 145 male pulse rates.
n=
(Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)
