Question
Assume that the sample is a simple random sample obtained from a normally distributed population of flight delays at an airport. Use the table below to find the minimum sample size needed
to be 95% confident that the sample standard deviation is within 5% of the population standard deviation. A histogram of a sample of those arrival delays suggests that the distribution is
skewed, not normal. How does the distribution affect the sample size?

A histogram of a sample of those arrival delays suggests that the distribution is skewed, not normal. How does the distribution affect the sample size?
O A. The computed minimum sample size is not likely correct.
O B. The computed sample size should be divided by 2.
O C. The computed sample size should be multiplied by 2.
O D. The computed minimum sample size is likely correct.
