9. A trainer decides to do a study because he wants to estimate the population mean completion times for both male and female runners within 1/4 minute (0.25 minute). How many runners of each sex does he need for his study? Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean completion times of a. male runners. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.64 minutes. b. female runners. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.12 minutes.
