A researcher is interested in the decrease in adolescent BMI after a new after school program is implemented to promote exercise in children. Suppose the researcher wants to collect a SRS of children from the program in order to evaluate their loss in BMI. If the population standard 22 deviation is 4.87 kg/m , and the researcher wants to capture the mean BMI within 4 kg/m , how many children should he sample to attain 95% confidence?
