Question 867522
 The Body-mass index (BMI) of all American 20-something women is believed to follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 6.5. Find how many 20-something women should be randomly sampled if we want the mean BMI of such a sample to be within 1 BMI unit of the population mean with 95 percent confidence. 
------------------------------
n = [z*s/E]^2 = [1.96*6.5/1]^2 = 163 when rounded up
