Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 41 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that σ = 7.70 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. (a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit ? upper limit ? margin of error ? (d) Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.80 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) male firefighters________?
