Question

Suppose that a study is carried out on the performance of the companies WM and TX for which two independent random samples of size 12 of the daily returns are taken for each of the companies. It is assumed that the returns have a normal distribution with standard deviation of 0.00776 and 0.00717 respectively

a) Calculate the probability that the sample difference of the returns is different from the true difference by less than 0.0035

b) What is the minimum sample size required for the probability calculated in a) to be at least 0.90?
