A medical statistician wants to estimate the average weight loss of people who are on a new diet plan. In a preliminary study, he guesses that the standard deviation of weight loss is about 10 pounds. How large a sample should he take to estimate the mean weight loss to within 2 pounds, with a 90% confidence.
