Question 272206: You plan to estimate the mean incubation period (in days)
for sea birds. How many incubation periods of sea birds must you sample
if you want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 3 days
of the true population mean? You can assume that the standard deviation
of incubation periods is 6 days? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many incubation periods of sea birds must you sample

-------------
n = [z*s/E]^2
---
n = [1.96*6/3]^2
---
n = 15.36
Round Up
n = 16
