A sample of 75 concrete blocks had a mean mass of 38.3 kg with a standard deviation of 0.6 kg.
a. How many blocks must be sampled so that a 95% confidence interval will specify the mean mass to within ±0.1 kg? (Round up the final answer to the nearest integer.)
The number of blocks that must be sampled is:
b. How many blocks must be sampled so that a 99% confidence interval will specify the mean mass to within ±0.1 kg? (Round up the final answer to the nearest integer.)
The number of blocks that must be sampled is:
