Question:

Sample Size Using Sample Data You want to estimate the mean pulse rate of adult males. Refer to Data Set 1 in Appendix B and find the maximum and minimum pulse rates for males, then use those values with the range rule of thumb to estimate s. How many adult males must you randomly select and test if you want to be 95% confident that the sample mean pulse rate is within 2 beats (per minute) of the true population mean m? If, instead of using the range rule of thumb, the standard deviation of the male pulse rates in Data Set 1 is used as an estimate of s, is the required sample size very different? Which sample size is likely to be closer to the correct sample size?
