he pulse rates of 179 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 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 bpm of the population mean. Complete parts (a) through (c) belo

97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Low = 43bpm

High = 115 bpm

Error = 3

α = 90%

To find the range estimate :

Standard destviation = (high - low) / 4

Standard deviation = (115 - 43) / 4

Standard deviation = 72/4 = 18

The sample size,(n) :

n = [(Zα/2 * sd)/E] ²

2 - tail = (Zα/2) = 1.645

[(Zα/2 * sd)/E] ² = [(1.645 * 18) / 3]² = (29.61/3)²

= 97.41

Sample size = 97
