Suppose that a researcher is planning a new study on hemoglobin levels amongst women under 25 years old. Previous research suggest that the standard deviation of hemoglobin is 0.7 g/dl. In the new study the research wants to have the standard error for the sample mean to be no more than 0.05 g/dl. Find the required sample size for the new study.

A sample size of at least 531 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are lacking the confidence level to solve this question, so i am going to use a 90% confidence level.

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Find the required sample size for the new study.

A sample size of at least n is required.

n is found when

We have that

So

Rounding up

A sample size of at least 531 is required.

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

identity property is where 0+whatever number=whatever number. basically 0+ a number.
