Question:

As Americans become more conscious of the importance of good nutrition, some researchers believe that we may be eating less red meat. To test this theory, a researcher decides to select hospital nutritional records for subjects surveyed 10 years ago and to compare the average amount of beef consumed per year to the amounts consumed by an equal number of subjects she will interview this year. She knows that the amount of beef consumed annually by Americans ranges from 0 to approximately 104 pounds. How many subjects should the researcher select for each group if she wishes to estimate the difference in the average annual per-capita beef consumption correct to within 5 pounds with 99% confidence?
