a statistics practitioner would like to estimate a population mean to within 40 units with 99% confidence given that the population standard deviation is 160.
a. what sample size should be used?'
n = [z*s/E]^2
n = [2.5758*160/40]^2 = [2.5758*4]^2 = 106.15
Round up to n = 107

I'll leave b,c, and d to you::
