H.Ws: H.W1: A group of junior traffic engineers intended to examine speed characteristics of an urban arterial street. They collected a speed data of 150 vehicles using radar speed gun. Check whether their sample size was statistically adequate if the standard deviation of the speeds was ± 7 mph, the required confidence level was 99% (Z = 2.58), and the limit of acceptable error was ± 2 mph.
