An admissions director wants to estimate the mean age of all students enrolled at a college. The estimate must be within 1.7 years of the population mean. Assume the population of ages is normally distributed. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.8 years. (b) The sample mean is 21 years of age. Using the minimum sample size with a 90% level of confidence, does it seem likely that the population mean could be within 10% of the sample mean? within 11% of the sample mean? Explain. Click here to view page 1 of the Standard Normal Table. Click here to view page 2 of the Standard Normal Table. (a) The minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval is students. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) (b) The 90% confidence interval is (,). It seem likely that the population mean could be within 10% of the sample mean because 10% off from the sample mean would fall the confidence interval. It seem likely that the population mean could be within 11% of the sample mean because 11% off from the sample mean would fall the confidence interval. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A college admissions director wishes to estimate the mean age of all students currently enrolled. In a random sample of 30 students the mean age is found to be 21.5 years. From past studies the population standard deviation at the college is known to be 1.2 years and the population is normally distributed.
