Suppose that scores on the mathematics part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test for eighth‑grade students follow a Normal distribution with standard deviation ?=40. You want to estimate the mean score within ±1 with 90% confidence. How large an SRS of scores must you choose? Give your answer rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
