Question
Assume that the sample is a simple random sample obtained from a normally distributed population of flight delays at an airport. Use the table below to find the minimum
sample size needed to be 95% confident that the sample standard deviation is within 40% of the population standard deviation. A histogram of a sample of those arrival
delays suggests that the distribution is skewed, not normal. How does the distribution affect the sample size?
