Question #7 ### Statistical Confidence and Sample SizeA doctor aims to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol of all 20- to 29-year-old females. The goal is to determine how many subjects are necessary to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol within 2 points with a 99% confidence level, assuming the standard deviation (\(s\)) is 12.9 based on previous studies. The doctor also considers a 90% confidence level. How does adjusting the confidence level impact the required sample size?**Sample Size Calculation:**- **99% confidence level requires:** [ ] subjects. *(Round up to the nearest subject.)*- **90% confidence level requires:** [ ] subjects. *(Round up to the nearest subject.)***Effect of Confidence Level on Sample Size:**- **A.** Decreasing the confidence level decreases the sample size needed.- **B.** The sample size is the same for all levels of confidence.- **C.** Decreasing the confidence level increases the sample size needed.### Partial Critical Value TableThis table provides the critical values (\(z_{\alpha/2}\)) for various confidence levels, which are necessary for calculating sample size:| Level of Confidence, \((1-\alpha) \cdot 100\%\) | Area in Each Tail, \(\alpha/2\) | Critical Value, \(z_{\alpha/2}\) ||---------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|| 90% | 0.05 | 1.645 || 95% | 0.025 | 1.96 || 99% | 0.005 | 2.575 |### Understanding the Table:- The **level of confidence** refers to how certain we are that the true parameter lies within the confidence interval.- The **critical value** \(z_{\alpha/2}\) corresponds to the chosen confidence level, impacting the margin of error and the sample size needed for a given precision.

We want to find the sample size

A doctor wants to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol of all 20- to 29-year-old females. How many subjects are needed to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol within 2 points with 99% confidence assuming s= 12.9 based on earlier studies? Suppose the doctor would be content with 90% confidence. How does the decrease in confidence affect the sample size required? E Click the icon to view a partial table of critical values.
