A medical researcher wants to investigate the amount of time it takes for patients' headache pain to be relieved after taking a new prescription painkiller. She plans to use statistical methods to estimate the mean of the population of relief times. She believes that the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 17 minutes. How large a sample should she take to estimate the mean time to within 3 minutes with 98% confidence? Sample Size =
